Respect the Do Not Track header
Summary​
The system must respect the users chosen value for the Do Not Track (DNT) header.
Description​
Systems usually request information from their users, obtain it from third parties or collect it based on their interactions with the application. The DNT header holds information about a users preference regarding being tracked by the websites they visit. Websites often ignore this header and proceed to track the users activities, which could represent a privacy violation if no consent is requested.
