I am interested in using "do not track" facility, but have Nielsen NetRatings recording my internet usage for statistical purposes. Will they be blocked from doing so if I download "do not track"?

Probably for the websites that honor the "Do not track" feature, which is voluntary for each website out there.

Best thing to do is to ask Nielson about it.
