Some network browsers (including the Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) have the "Do Not Track" ("DNT") function, and such function would notify the website that users don't hope their online activities are traced. If the website responding to the DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browsers could prevent such website from preventing some information of the relevant browser users. Not all browsers provide the DNT function, and the DNT signal hasn't been unified at present. Hence, many enterprises including Yeetalk don't respond to the DNT signal.
