Definition

Do Not Track (DNT) is a browser signal that asks websites not to track the user across sites; support and enforcement have varied widely in practice.

Real-World Example

Enabling DNT in browser settings sends a header with requests, but many sites historically ignored it — motivating stronger privacy tools and laws.
