Microsoft supports continuing work toward a 'Do Not Track' standard

By Adrienne Hall, General Manager, Trustworthy Computing  

Microsoft has been steadfastly committed to, and engaged in, the W3C's Tracking Protection Working Group’s efforts to define a Do Not Track standard.  We believe DNT holds the potential to help people better manage their privacy online.

The Working Group chairs are currently asking members how and whether to proceed with DNT standards work.  At the Microsoft on the Issues blog, Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch shared our response, emphasizing that Microsoft supports continued work toward a final, meaningful DNT standard that will help build greater trust across the Internet ecosystem.
