What is Do Not Track? Let's Make Google Monopoly Company To Respect Users Policy Privacy And Encrypt Our Search History Forever..


What is Do Not Track?

An illustrated guide by DuckDuckGo.

You may have heard about "Do Not Track."

Fig. 1 DO NOT TRACK

It is a Web browser setting

that sends your tracking preference to Web sites.

Fig. 3 Don't track me, bro!

You'd think turning on the “Do Not Track” setting
would make the Web sites you visit not track you.

But it doesn't.

Fig. 5 Double Facepalm

Do Not Track has two major holes:

First, Do Not Track really means Do Not Target,

so you're still being tracked  all over the net —
you're just not seeing targeted ads some of the time.

Second, it is completely voluntary,

so Web sites might or might not honor your settings.

Fig. 10 Details from the chrome FAQ regarding the Do Not Track setting. 'At this time, most web services, including Google's, do not alter their behaviour or change their services upon receiving Do Not Track requests. (Updated October 2012)'

In other words, it is ineffective.

It should either have a different name,

Fig. 12 Hello my name is

or work like the United States Do Not Call list.

After all, it's called Do Not Track.
Anything short of not tracking is misleading.
