Stack Overflow does not honor Do Not Track [0] and in response to a question [1] indicated that they don't intend to do that either.

Tracking (including third-party tracking) seems like a feature.

Safari has even removed Do Not Track because it can be used for fingerprinting.

I don't see how this follows. What does SO have to gain by allowing FB to track SO users? Just seems like laziness to me.


Maybe an EU law will require sites to honor do not track or face stiff fines.
