Yahoo will not recognise Microsoft's DNT signal from IE10
- USA: Wednesday, October 31 - 2012 at 02:34
Yahoo Inc. has said it plans to ignore Do Not Track (DNT) privacy requests sent by Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE10) browser, calling its ally's unilateral decision "signal abuse" and pointing to a possible rift between the search partners, Computer World has reported. DNT signals whether a user wants online advertisers and websites to track his or her movements. "In principle, we support DNT," Yahoo said in an unattributed entry on its policy blog. "[But] Microsoft unilaterally decided to turn on DNT in Internet Explorer 10 by default, rather than at users' discretion. It basically means that the DNT signal from IE10 doesn't express user intent. We will not recognise IE10's default DNT signal on Yahoo! properties at this time."
