'{{Short description|HTTP header field}} {{use mdy dates|date=July 2023}} '''Do Not Track''' ('''DNT''') is a formerly official [[List of HTTP header fields|HTTP header field]], designed to allow internet users to opt out of [[Web tracking|tracking by websites]]—which includes the collection of data regarding a user's activity across multiple distinct contexts, and the retention, use, or sharing of data derived from that activity outside the context in which it occurred.<ref name="Corbin-2010" /> The Do Not Track header was originally proposed in 2009 by researchers Christopher Soghoian and Sid Stamm.<ref name="Fleishman-2024">{{Cite news |last=Fleishman |first=Glenn |date=2019-03-07 |title=How the tragic death of Do Not Track ruined the web for everyone |url=https://www.fastcompany.com/90308068/how-the-tragic-death-of-do-not-track-ruined-the-web-for-everyone |work=[[Fast Company]]}}</ref> Mozilla Firefox became the first browser to implement the feature.

In this case, the new header would be automatically strengthened by existing laws and companies would be required to honor it. == Operation == The DNT header accepts three values: <code>1</code> in case the user does not want to be tracked ''(opt-out)'', <code>0</code> in case the user consents to be tracked ''(opt-in)'', or ''null'' (no header sent) if the user has not expressed a preference.
