Microsoft browsers to disable 'Do Not Track' by default

    

Microsoft has announced its decision to not turn on the 'Do Not Track' feature in the upcoming versions of Internet Explorer and Spartan browsers by default. The 'Do Not Track' feature in many popular browsers tells websites and their advertisers that you want to opt out of third-party tracking for advertising purposes.
