What statement about Do Not Track (DNT) browsers is accurate?

• A. It blocks all data sharing automatically.
• B. It guarantees that websites will not track you.
• C. It requires companies to disclose data sharing.
• D. It is a browser setting that is voluntary and can be ignored by websites.

Answer: (D)

DNT is a browser setting that communicates a user's preference not to be tracked. It works by sending a Do Not Track signal to websites, but it is only a request, not a guarantee. Because it’s voluntary, websites can choose whether to honor it, and many do not. As a result, enabling DNT does not automatically block data sharing, nor does it guarantee that websites won’t track you or that companies must disclose what they share. Tracking can still occur through other methods, and the signal may be ignored altogether.
