- ascorbic 8y agoMost people have never heard of DNT. This is an easy way to opt out in one click. If you're using private browsing you're probably also using an ad blocker, so you're fine anyway.
- weinzierl 8y agoThis is actually what the (hopefully) upcoming ePrivacy Regulation (not to be confused with the existing ePrivacy Directive) suggests [1]: > Simpler rules on cookies: the cookie provision, which has resulted in an overload of consent requests for internet users, will be streamlined. The new rule will be more user-friendly as browser settings will provide for an easy way to accept or refuse tracking cookies and other identifiers.
