What is Do Not Track?
Do Not Track is a browser setting that sends a signal to websites, indicating your preference not to be tracked for targeted ads or analytics.
Although many sites will honor your request they are not obligated to comply, and since most sites rely on your data for advertising, many will ignore it.
While Do Not Track may not be a foolproof solution, enabling it is still a good practice as it provides another layer of protection for your privacy and can help reduce the volume of targeted advertising.
