Do Not Track (DNT) | |
Another common misconception is related to a certain browser configuration better known as DNT. | |
That’s an acronym for “Do Not Track” and it can be turned on basically on any current browser. | |
Similarly to the private mode, it’s not hard to find people that believe they will not be tracked if they | |
have this configuration on. Unfortunately, that’s not always true. Currently, DNT is just a way for | |
you to tell the websites you visit that you do not want them to track you. But, in fact, they are the | |
ones who will decide if they will respect your choice or not. In other words, DNT is a way to opt-out | |
from website tracking, but there is no guarantee on that choice. | |
Technically, this is done by simply sending an extra flag on the header of the HTTP request protocol | |
(DNT: 1) upon requesting data from a web server. If you want to know more about this topic, the | |
website https://allaboutdnt.com is good starting point. |
