-<p>A few years ago the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) created a mechanism for browsers to inform web servers that they would not like to be tracked.
- This is accomplished by including a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track">DNT (Do Not Track) header</a> with web requests.
- This header is enabled by default in Privacy Browser, although if desired it can be disabled in the settings.</p>
+ <body>
+ <h3>Do Not Track</h3>
-<p>The DNT header doesn't really provide much privacy because most web servers ignore it. For example, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook
- all ignore at least some DNT headers.</p>

-<h3>Advertisements</h3>
-<p>Privacy Browser Free includes a banner advertisement across the bottom of the screen that is populated by Google's
- AdMob network. By default, Google provides the <a href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6048248?hl=en">advertising ID</a>
- of the device to the ads displayed through this network. This allows advertising companies to build a profile of
- the device that show which apps are installed (that display ads), how often they are used, and which ads the user is interested in.</p>
+ <h3>Advertisements</h3>
-<p>Users can choose to disable the advertising ID in <strong>Settings</strong>, <strong>Google</strong>, <strong>Ads</strong>.</p>
