Do Not Track

FAQ

Do Not Track was a browser setting that sent a signal asking websites not to track you across sites. Many browsers have deprecated it; privacy now relies more on tracking protections and consent tools.

Support is limited. Privacy now relies more on browser tracking protections, permissions, and consent banners.

  • Chrome:Do Not Track toggle removed; use Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Tracking.
  • Firefox:Settings → Privacy & Security → Website Privacy Preferences → “Tell websites not to sell or share my data” (and legacy Do Not Track if shown).
  • Safari:relies on Intelligent Tracking Prevention rather than classic Do Not Track.
  • Edge:Settings → Privacy → “Send "Do Not Track" requests” if available.
  • Reload this page to see the updated signal.

Browsers now emphasize tracking protections, cookie controls, and signals like Global Privacy Control (GPC) where supported. Site consent banners also govern many trackers.

Many browsers removed or defaulted Do Not Track to off. An unset value is normal and does not mean your other privacy settings are weak.
