No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
and we not only know that this is some utter bullshit but also speaks volumes about the CEO and makes me wonder if they read what the courts just told scumbag LinkedIn?
In case anyone is curious and doesn’t know, “Do Not Track” was originally a proposed Internet standard from 2009-2018, but was never formally adopted by the W3C. Its successor is called Global Privacy Control (https://iapp.org/news/a/is-gpc-the-new-do-not-track/). I’m guessing that Grafana is playing games by saying there is no technology standard for DNT, because technically the new standard has a different name. I wouldn’t consider a company that plays semantic games like this to be trustworthy when it comes to privacy.
Not sure what Grafana is but I can’t even visit the site because they block Tor (403). Gotta love how easy it is to see-and-avoid some privacy-hostile venues. If you were using Tor you might not have wasted 1 minute with that site.

This applies only to their hosted solutions, doesn’t it?
Shouldn’t be relevant for self-hosters.

true. yet it was no waste of time but quite a laugh how shady they write about it.
