- What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
DNT is a concept promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism to allow Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, web browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to date. As such, the BAROSA group generally does not respond to “do not track” signals.
