Yahoo has pulled the plug on their Do Not Track settings. Starting today, Yahoo will automatically track users, regardless of if they have Do Not Track enabled in their browsers or not. DNT is also more of a suggestion, than a guarantee. As Andrew Rose, principal security and risk analyst at Forrester, told PC Pro, DNT is, at best, a polite request from the browser that the host site pay no attention to them and kindly forget them once they leave. Laudable as this is, the browser has zero ability to ensure that this happens.
