# Enable do not track

> Prevent tracking by placing a cookie in the visitor's browser.

Prevent all tracking by the HubSpot tracking code by placing a do not track cookie in the visitor's browser.

## Usage

```javascript theme={null}
var _hsq = (window._hsq = window._hsq || []);
_hsq.push(["doNotTrack"]);
```

## What this does

* Places a "do not track" cookie in the visitor's browser.
* Prevents the HubSpot tracking code from collecting any analytics data.
* Stops page view tracking, event tracking, and visitor identification.
* Honors the visitor's privacy preferences.

## Use Cases

* **Privacy Compliance**: Respect visitor's do-not-track preferences.
* **Opt-out Mechanism**: Provide a way for visitors to disable tracking.
* **Employee Exclusion**: Prevent internal traffic from being tracked.
* **Testing Environment**: Disable tracking during development/testing.

## Notes

* This is a permanent setting until the cookie is manually removed.
* The cookie persists across browser sessions.
* This affects all HubSpot tracking functionality.
* To re-enable tracking, the visitor must clear their cookies or you must provide a mechanism to remove the do-not-track cookie.
