[QUOTE="Orchid, post: 1032091, member: 98800"] MalwareTips Community, First, I hope I am posting this in the right section. We all know that when you visit a website, trackers can follow you wherever you go. In 2009, Do Not Track (DNT) became the standard for all websites, and soon after, most web browsers started incorporating the setting Do Not Track. I have seen Do Not Track topics here in the past. However, how many of you turn this feature on in your web browser? Do you think DNT has its use or not? I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. I have Do Not Track disabled. Many websites do not honor Do Not Track requests due to low adoption, and trackers can track what you do anyway despite having the DNT option enabled.
