Definition:
  1. noun. A do-not-track beacon, also known as a DNT beacon, is a small piece of code embedded in a website that signals to the website owner that a visitor has enabled the "do-not-track" (DNT) feature in their web browser. The DNT feature is intended to provide users with control over the collection and use of their online browsing information. When a DNT beacon is triggered, it informs the website not to track or collect data relating to the visitor's online activities, such as their browsing behavior or preferences. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of DNT beacons in preventing tracking varies, as websites have the option to honor or disregard the DNT signal. GPT3.5
