The system “Do Not Track” forbidden sites to register their cookies on computers; These files contain information about the owner of the computer. In the US, Google had to pay $ 22.5 million fine imposed by the federal government as part of a settlement agreement. Additional $ 17 million had also been paid to end forty other complaints.
