Description

> "To hide yourself: Install Google Analytics opt-out extension and Yandex opt-out add-on. We do not track users across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising. If you have enabled “Do Not Track” option when accessing Adguard websites, no tools from Analytics & Metrics will be used."

Specifically: "If you have enabled “Do Not Track” option when accessing Adguard websites, no tools from Analytics & Metrics will be used."

While "Do Not Track" is, as is stated, respected by all Adguard websites, it may be good to add that the "Do Not Track" setting is **not** respected by (x)^n websites.

Note: I've used the equation in place of any precise number, estimate, or outright guess, as to the number of websites which ignore the "Do Not Track" setting is numerically impossible to state with certainty, so, quite obviously, a descriptive legal phrase would have to be used in its place.

Furthermore, and this is extremely important from a privacy perspective, using the "Do Not Track" setting identifies you as much or, quite likely, more so than not using it, as it screams "I use 'Do Not Track'". This turns "Do Not Track" into _a tool for tracking you_, **how** it does this would be too space consuming to list, however for reference see "Do Not Track" information from both Mozilla and the TOR Project. The most simplistic way of doing so is purely mathematical as the ratio of people not using "Do Not Track" is still far higher than those who do use it. More details may be had via the organizations previously mentioned.

Thank-you for taking the time to read this enhancement request to the privacy policy for Adguard's websites. I realize I'll likely be the only end-user to comment here and that no comments were even expected or possibly even wanted.

Sincerely,
