Wilfully ignored because i guess it's not mandated by law.

You need someone powerful like Google to say they will lower Page Rank for sites that don't comply with the Do Not Track flag.

when you say 'dont track', it seems like you could really mean 'dont not track', which would make more sense. since thats the safer option, maybe i should assume that. or maybe bring up a dialog that asks 'do you fail to consent to the lack of not tracking'

yes, that’s what i thought. but then, what would be the point of rejecting anything, except to actively consent to something else?
