"Do Not Track" had a lofty goal: You know, it's a simple check box in every web browser that tells the sites you link to not to follow you.
The feature seems to be used by too many people, but it is there problem: Websites don't care.
You should know that thechoice “Do not Track” δεν εμποδίζει την παρακολούθησή σας από τις ιστοσελίδες. Απλώς στέλνει ένα message every time you connect to a website, asking it not to track you. But the majority of websites on the web are ignoring the message, and that's not going to change. At the moment there doesn't seem to be any "penalty" for web pages to ignore Do Not Track, so why should they respect it?
"Do not Track" has been around for years. The option is used by Google Chrome, the Mozilla Firefox, ο Safari της Apple, ο Edge και ο Internet Explorer της Microsoft. You can tick the box if it makes you feel safer but it doesn't actually help you online. It is completely misleading.
The truth is that Do Not Track is used to track people. If you've turned on the feature, you give an additional element to advertisers who see that you are interested in security and serve you privacy-related ads (for example).
So, as shown, this checkbox is totally useless. Such as he remarked DuckDuckGo, Apple removes this option from Safari and we expect other browsers to follow Apple's lead. As W3 says, DNT request header support has stopped on 17 January of 2019.
"Do not Track" is said to act as a placebo and mislead internet users.
The story about Do Not Track was started by Microsoft, which enabled Internet Explorer 10 by default, causing most web sites to ignore it. The funny thing is that Microsoft itself never respected the setting saying that "Because there is not yet a common understanding of how DNT is interpreted, Microsoft services are not currently responding to browser signals."
