Console Do Not Track (DNT)

{{ site.description }}

Gatsby has GATSBY_TELEMETRY_DISABLED. Homebrew has HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS. Etcher has... well, nothing.

This is a proposal for a single, standard environment variable that plainly expresses an OPT OUT by a user of software to any of the following:

  • ad tracking
  • usage reporting
  • automatic update phone-home
  • non-essential requests of any kind to the creator of the software

export DO_NOT_TRACK=1
