=How do I turn the Do-not-track feature on?=
The Do-not-track feature is turned off by default. To turn it on:
{for m25}
#Tap the {button Menu} button [[Template:AndroidMenuLocation]] and then {button Settings} [[Template:AndroidMore]].
#Next tap {button Privacy}, then {button Tracking} and choose '''Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked'''.
{/for}
{for not m25}
#Tap the {button Menu} button [[Template:AndroidMenuLocation]] and then {button Settings} [[Template:AndroidMore]].
#Next tap {button Tracking} and choose '''Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked'''.
#*A check mark will appear to show that the feature is enabled.
{/for}
=Other tracking options=
There are two other tracking options:
*'''Tell sites that I want to be tracked''': Choosing this option will tell websites that you want to be tracked by advertisers and other third-parties. You should be aware that many companies build a profile of sites you visit. Checking this option means that you are okay with that.
*'''Do not tell sites anything about my tracking preferences''': This is the default setting. Choosing this option will not tell websites anything about your preferences. You should note that this does not mean that you will not be tracked. In fact it's effectively the same as the previous option, and you are likely going to be tracked.
