  • The simple truth is that you as a user do not have any way to certify that a remote server actually obeys DNT, and as such there is no sense in giving them this extra bit of profiling information. There is no way nor reason to assume that a site that says to respect DNT, let alone one that doesn’t, is part of the “Good Guys” (what is even that?) in this year of 2025.

    Also, a legal system should not be designed such that privacy is opt-in; it should be tracking that is opt-in, and thus the absence of the possibility of DNT is a clear indication of the belief that the legal mandate should be that the default position of the law is “do not track”. If we want to add a “Do Track” header later, be my guest.

    As such, remving DNT is fine.
