I know that everyone in the world today wants to know pretty much everything (possibly more than one's spouse) about everyone.

Does StackExchange have an official policy on honoring [Do Not Track](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track) browser settings?

FWIW, my browser settings clearly say:

> Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked

![enter image description here][1]

However, upon navigating to any of the SE sites, it's evident that the setting isn't being honored.

[Privacy Badger](https://www.eff.org/privacybadger) browser extension from [EFF](https://www.eff.org/) tells that I _am_ being tracked:

Moreover, on http://stackoverflow.com I see some more sites doing the same:

    qa.sockets.stackexchange.com
    engine.adzerk.net

I understand that there is no legal requirement to honor the setting.  I just wanted to understand what is the public stand that Stack Exchange takes in this regard?

The [Privacy Policy](http://stackexchange.com/legal/privacy-policy), as of now, doesn't answer this question.
