Do Not Track the tale that was unveiled

“Do Not Track” had a lofty goal: You know, it's a simple check box on every on the web that tells the websites you connect not to track you.

The operation seems to be using too many, but there is a problem: Websites are not interested.
Do Not Track
You should know that the "Do not Track" option does not prevent you from following the websites. It just sends a message every time you link to a webpage asking it not to follow you. But most web sites ignore the message, and that is not going to change. At the moment there does not seem to be any "penalty" for web pages ignoring Do Not Track, so why respect it?

"Do not Track" has been around for years. The option is used by Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple's Safari, Edge and others Explorer της Microsoft. Μπορείτε να κάνετε τικ στο κουτάκι αν σας κάνει να αισθάνεστε ασφαλέστεροι αλλά στην πραγματικότητα δεν σας βοηθάει online. Είναι εντελώς παραπλανητικό.

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 η DuckDuckGo, η Apple αφαιρεί την συγκεκριμένη επιλογή από το Safari και αναμένουμε κι από άλλους κατασκευαστές προγραμμάτων περιήγησης να ακολουθήσουν το προβάδισμα της Apple. Όπως αναφέρει άλλωστε το W3, η υποστήριξη για το DNT request stopped on 17 January of 2019.

“Do not Track” allegedly acts as a placebo and misleads its 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."
