When you are answering the Privacy Policy questionnaire, you will be asked whether your website responds to Do Not Track signals. This disclosure is required by the California Online Privacy and Protection Act (CalOPPA). CalOPPA requires that you disclose whether your website responds to these signals, not for your website to respond to the signals in any particular way.
Do Not Track is a web browser setting that requests a particular website to disable its tracking of an individual user. When the Do Not Track setting is turned on, the browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, advertising networks, plug-in providers, and other services to stop tracking that individual's activity online.

You have the following answer choices with regard to this question:
- Yes: select this option if your website responds to and honors Do Not Track;
- No: select this option if your website does not respond to or honor Do Not Track. This answer option is the most popular one.
- I don't know: select this option if you are unsure as to how your website responds to Do Not Track. If you do select this option, your Privacy Policy will default to the "no" option since that is the most common setting.
