Revision as of 23:14, 6 April 2011

The do not track header is a proposed HTTP field that would request a web application to disable their tracking of a user. The 'Do Not Track' standard was created by researchers at Standford University and is under discussion in the United States Congress and the Federal Trade Commission. ^[1]

The header is not yet widely supported and has not yet been standardized.

The header accepts two values, 1 in case the user does not wish to be tracked (opt out) or 0 in case he does (opt in). As of April 2011 it is supported by Firefox 4 and the Internet Explorer 9.
