Do Not Track - Universal Web Tracking Opt Out


Do Not Track

Universal Web Tracking Opt Out



Overview


Do Not Track is a technology and policy proposal that enables users to opt out of tracking by websites they do not visit, including analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. At present few of these third parties offer a reliable tracking opt out, and tools for blocking them are neither user-friendly nor comprehensive. Much like the popular Do Not Call registry, Do Not Track provides users with a single, simple, persistent choice to opt out of third-party web tracking.

Do Not Track signals a user's opt-out preference with an HTTP header, a simple technology that is completely compatible with the existing web. Several large third parties have already committed to honor Do Not Track, but many more have been recalcitrant. We believe regulation is necessary to verify and enforce compliance with a user’s choice to opt out of tracking.

Did you know...


Advertising industry self-regulation does not allow you to opt out of tracking, just seeing tracking-based ads.

This site could be helpful in reducing how much your Web Surfing is Tracked. But, the Do Not Track is only a request that is sent to each Web Site that you Visit. The Web Site Owners may or may not Comply with your Wishes. So, it seems obvious that the more unscrupulous Web Site Owners Will Ignore you Do Not Track Request". Still, it may help with Sites that are interested in Staying out of Legal Trouble. Should the Governments decide to get involved. That's my Take on it, any way. My Favorite Web Browser is Firefox and there are many good Addon's for Web Privacy, as well as man other things. I think that Addon's like, Adblock Plus :: Firefox Add-ons, BetterPrivacy :: Add-ons for Firefox and so on. Are a good ways to increase your Web Privacy. You are more in control of what you Share, with these Addon's.  Also, Dr.Web - innovation IT-security solutions. Complex protection against Internet threats, has a One Button Virus Scanner for Links that you may want to check, before clicking on them. Most all Web Browsers have many Addon's to choose from. Just check the Help Menu in your Browser, if you don't know how to get Addon's. Here's more info below...
