Don't phone home when browser has DNT enabled, and project respects DNT #255

Would love it if someone submitted a PR for this issue! Otherwise I'll try to get to it soon.

Requests with DNT are already ignored at backend so I assume we're talking about JS tracker not sending request at all. There is JS api to detect DNT enabled in browser but according to MDN it's deprecated. (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/navigator/doNotTrack) I suggest to send empty (or almost empty) page.js script when DNT header is set. I can do PR if this approach is ok.

I think that’s the right approach @haaavk — just send a minimal page. If they have script injections etc I think we should still send that.

It's done. I forgot to add appropriate description so issue need to be closed manually.
