Do Not Track: Mozilla releases figures and setup assistance

Do Not Track: Mozilla releases figures and setup assistance

Mozilla has released his first blog privacy of their data usage figures
Protection Do Not Track (DNT). Accordingly, already nearly five percent
of Firefox users DO have not enabled track. In the blog posting Alex
Fowler also contradicts the criticism of others, Do not track whether
the operators of websites difficult to implement. A Field Guide to help
contain sample code that webmasters when converting from DNT.

Mozilla already speaks not for a long time for the data protection
standard DO from track. Since version 4 supports Firefox DNT. So that
surfers will be able to defend against the fact that advertising
companies to track their surfing sessions - for example with cookies -
in order to present them with tailored advertising. In the appeal
procedure, the surfer set in the browser options, not that he wants to
be pursued through advertising. As a result, the browser sends to every
request, an HTTP header that indicates a desire not to be pursued.

Facebook, Google and Yahoo - all of which earn much money with online
advertising - have spoken out against the standard. Google is at its
Chrome browser to a different procedure. Also, Opera does not support
DNT. Microsoft and Apple, however DNT support in their browsers.
