Vulnerability discussion

This policy setting allows you to configure how Internet Explorer sends the Do Not Track (DNT) header. If you enable this policy setting, Internet Explorer sends the DNT:1 header on all HTTP and HTTPS requests. The DNT:1 header signals that servers should not track the user. If you disable this policy setting, Internet Explorer sends the DNT:1 header only when a Tracking Protection List is enabled, or when InPrivate Browsing mode is used. If you do not configure this policy setting, users can select the Always send Do Not Track header options on the Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog box. When this option is selected, Internet Explorer sends the DNT:1 header on all HTTP and HTTPS requests.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
