With the do not track feature checked I still get ads from sites visited soon after leaving these sites. What to do?

I have checked the box for do not track but get ads from sites visited after leaving these sites. These ads run parallel on the Yahoo home page. What I can I do about this?

That feature relies upon voluntary compliance to your preference by websites.

  • I've turned on the do not track feature but I still have many sites tracking me. What can I do to stop them from doing this?

    I can tell that sites are still tracking me, if I search for an item on ebay the next time I go to Amazons site I see the item I was searching for on ebay on the Amazon page. I would like this to stop can you help with this problem?

    Hi,
    You can try installing Ghostery. It is available for download. It is an add-on to prevent tracking you by the websites. Check here for information: https://www.ghostery.com/
    Thank you!

  • How do I switch on the D0 Not Track feature?

    I read your very good article on the Do Not Track feature, but it does not advise or provide a selection tab to activate the Do Not Track service, which I would like to do.
    (2) I see below on my Firefox Version that I have 3.6.23. I have recently downloaded Firefox Version 7, which is in my Download folder. Does this mean that my download of version 7 has not been activated so my notebook is not running version 7 as yet or is 3.6.23 something else all together? If currently not running Firefox Version 7, how do I transfer it across from Downloads to Programs? Copy & Paste from Downloads to Programs folder on my Windows Explorer?

    To install Firefox 7, run the installer you downloaded (double-click it). Actually, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings first in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Regarding Do Not Track, it is in the Options dialog on the Privacy tab when you are finished updating.

  • How do you turn on the do not track feature?

    According to an article in USA Today, Firefox has a "do not track" feature that keeps third parties for knowing what sites I visit. How do you turn this on?

    Note that selecting that ''do-not-track'' setting will only make Firefox send a specific HTTP header (DNT=1) to a web server.
    It is up to the server to do something with that request.

  • What do I do with the message :this connection is untrusted". I get it on sites i use a lot

    I get this message when trying to log into my Yahoo mail account and now get it when accessing my cellular company's website. I'm concerned about overriding this, so need some input. I'm using Windows XP and of course Firefox

    The site doesn't send the intermediate certificate, so you can either make an exception, but better is to install the missing intermediate certificate.<br />
    Because the www.networking4all.com website show the certificate text of this certificate, you can copy the certificate text to the clipboard and paste this text in a text file and save the file as "NetworkSolutions.cer" (be sure to select All Files and not Text Files when saving in Notepad).
    You can install the intermediate certificate by importing this NetworkSolutions.cer file in the Firefox Certificate Manager.

  • I    I have accidentally lost the "book" in iPhoto. Can I still get copies from the book without having to resend the actual photos.  Other photobook companies keep your book on file?

    I have done a photobook in iphoto and have had them produced and sent out to me.
    I have accidentally lost the "book" in iPhoto so can't reorder more via the usual way.
    Does anyone know if the Photo company producing the books keep them on file, that way allowing you to buy more copies without actually resending
    in the book and photos.
    I usually use MyPublisher and they actually have your book on file and then you can just print them as you wish.
    Thanks

    Have just found the book and files on the external hard drive.
    All good.
    Thanks

  • Another one with the "did not respond" error

    Hi all,
    We've been successfully video chatting with my parents using iChat AV for years on our old machine - an 800 MHz G4 iMac. We just upgraded to a new iMac with the Intel Core Duo processor, and now are getting the "did not respond" error that others are describing. Because nothing else has changed in the setup at either end other than our new machine, the problem must lie in the new iMac. After perusing this forum and Ralph's site, I tried setting the QuickTime streaming speed to 1.5 Mbps rather than "automatic," and turned off IPv6, but to no avail.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
    The Rosses

    Hi rossma,
    If you go to System Preferences > Network and then
    Select the Connection method in the second drop
    down.
    Then the TCP/IP tab
    Does this say Using DHCP ?
    Does it give you an IP of something close to
    192.168.1.100 ?
    Yes.
    Does it list the "router" IP as being 192.168.1.1 ?
    Yes.
    If you connect the computer to the Toshiba what IP do
    you get then ?
    Does it match the same IP as when you go here
    http://myip.dk/
    Well, I didn't try disconnecting the iMac from the Linksys and hooking it up directly to the cable modem (would require wrestling with a nest of cables), but I can see the IP address that the Outside World sees in the Linksys configuration page, and that matches what the webpage you mentioned says. if you need me to connect it directly, let me know and I'll try that.
    If it does then the Toshiba is in Bridge mode and the
    Linksys may be doing the ISP login
    I can not see the Toshiba in this list
    http://portforward.com/routers.htm which is why I
    think it is not routing and is in Bridge mode. (this
    will mean all the ports are open in it).
    If all ports are open, then the cable modem shouldn't be the problem, right?
    As far as Quicktime is concerned it might pay to
    check the Font Book and see if Helvetica is active.
    Huh? This is the first I've heard of Helvetica being problematic! It's active at the moment - should I disable it?
    Thanks for all your patience and effort on my behalf!

  • HT5463 Questions about the "Do Not Disturb" feature not addressed in documentation

    Hello,
    I have some questions about the "Do Not Disturb" feature which are not quite addressed by the documentation.
    When DND is enabled, will badge app icons still be displayed?
    When DND is turned off, either manually or automatically, will Notification Center banners be available for alerts which occurred while DND was on, or are they lost forever? 
    I guess the main questions is, is DND like an answering machine, which stores up your notifications until you are ready to deal with them?  Or is it a return of the "turn off all notifications" feature that existed in iOS 4, albeit in a more evolved form?
    Thanks,
    - Steve

    If you have a schedule set, but activate it manually, it will de-activate at the scheduled time anyway. It behaves perfectly on my 4S, my wife's 4, and both of our iPads.
    If you have an iPhone 5, it could be tied to the known issue with automatic time set going Wonky on LTE networks. If that's the case, try disabling the automatic time set and see if it behaves itself.

  • Does safari have a do not track feature?

    Does safari have a "do not track" feature?

    Safari v.6 does via Safari Preferences... > Privacy tab:
    If you're on a version of Safari prior to v.6 you can install the Do Not Track Plus extension — see HERE under the Security category.
    Note that Safari v.6 is included in Mountain Lion and is available for Lion via Software Update.

    This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".
