Is it legal to allow tracking by default and omit people with `navigator.doNotTrack` enabled?

  DNT is going away and has already been removed from some browsers because the advertising industry used it as an extra signal to fingerprint browsers. Regarding the regulation though, tracking is forbidden until explicit consent has been obtained.

    Thanks. Any references regarding DNT going away?

      Safari removed support for it for that reason, making it essentially dead as other browsers should follow (if they haven't already): https://www.macworld.com/article/3338152/apple-safari-removing-do-not-track.html https://www.macworld.com/article/3338152/apple-safari-removi...
