If you “honour” my #DoNotTrack* signal, why don't you just shut the fuck up, dear https://docs.spring.io? 🙄

* More accurately: #GlobalPrivacyControl header or #GPC

#DoNotTrack in Kalifornien:

#Gesetz566 verpflichtet #Browser-Anbieter ab 2027 zu einer Opt-out-Funktion, "die Websites automatisch darüber informiert, dass persönliche Daten nicht an Dritte weitergegeben werden dürfen."

Are you using Firefox? Changes in europe have given teeth to 'do not track' settings you can set in your browser. These settings are now likley to be honored (more often) by web apps especially those with strong international presence.

You can set the new 'Do not track' which now called 'Global privacy control' like this..

Firefox > Settings > Privacy & Security > Tell websites not to sell or share my data ✅

Regarding the 'do not track' browser setting, it is actually discontinued according to Mozilla Developer Network: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/DNT

It is replaced (well, not really, the setting still exists) by something known as "globalprivacycontrol": https://globalprivacycontrol.org/

Both are available on server site as well as client side. Now, go respect them. Both 🙂

@echo_pbreyer Nanu? Warum behaupten dann alle, #DoNotTrack sei tot?

@echo_pbreyer: Dabei hat #Firefox
mit Version 135 den Support für #DoNotTrack entfernt, weil es angeblich nicht helfe: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/wie-verhindere-ich-dass-websites-mich-verfolgen 🤬🤮

🇪🇺Your browser's #DoNotTrack signal is now legally binding: As of today, enabling DNT means no more personalized political ads (and no nagging consent banners about it). Keep an eye on Meta & Co. Are they complying? Report any violations! https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/political-advertising-eu-fights-cookie-banners-but-not-voter-manipulation-and-microtargeting/ #PoliticalAds

🇩🇪Ab heute MÜSSEN Plattformen dein Browser-Signal #DoNotTrack respektieren: Wer es setzt, darf keine personalisierte politische Werbung mehr sehen – ohne lästige Banner-Rückfragen! Prüft kritisch, ob Meta & Co sich daran halten und meldet Verstöße. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/politische-werbung-eu-parlament-bekaempft-cookie-banner-nicht-aber-waehlermanipulation-und-microtargeting/

Did you rely on the “#DoNotTrack” setting on your phone? Since July 18th, Instagram removed the option for users to opt out of online personalised ads through their mobile device settings. Now, you can only do so through the “Digital Advertising Alliance” and not anymore directly from your phone.

@choam@masto.es if privacy is your concern then you should use @brave. It still supports #ManifestV2, but also comes with a built-in #AdBlocker, and third party cookie blocking. Furthermore it still supports #DoNotTrack which Firefox is phasing out, so technically it's *more* private, and also MUCH faster!

Now we know why Mozilla removed the #DoNotTrack feature from #Firefox. They didn't want us to opt out! (irony)

"Do Not Track: Mozilla does not track users across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising. In addition, if you have configured your browser to send a “Do Not Track” signal when accessing our websites, Mozilla will not utilize any of the tools described in the Metrics section."

Glad to see #Rob from #FPF brings up #Kobler's #contextualads solution as a viable alternative to #RTB and #SurveillanceAdvertising.

Also makes a super important point about mandatory #DoNotTrack signals in browsers.

IMO this is what #Mozilla should be working towards, not making #Firefox as a data collection platform.

Say you have a privacy promise website like duckduckgo. Wouldn't it be prudent to categorise website results according to privacy?

Ideally I want the top results to come from privacy promise websites that don't track or retain my data.

I'd also more happily contribute if the payment system was heavily anonymous and untracked too. Paying with cryptocurrency is superior in this.

@mattgrayyes the sheer fact there's neither a "#DeclineAll" button that declines all nor that they don't interpret a #DoNotTrack-#Cookie as a 'decline all' should be illegal!
