Yahoo to stop support for ‘Do No Track’ requests

Yahoo recently announced that they would stop honoring Do Not Track requests. This technology works to keep sites from tracking users’ activity but it needs the third-party to agree that they would honor these DNT requests. The reason behind Yahoo’s decision is that they “fundamentally believe” the best online experience is a personalized experience. They would prefer their users use the privacy tools the company offers on their platform. It is going to be a bit tedious to tinker around with your settings on Yahoo but to continue using their services this would be your only recourse at the moment.
