Without launching into moral judgement, I’d just like to mention that people who block your analytics code from loading normally are often sending you a pretty strong signal that they would not like to be tracked. Do you have something that might take this into account?
We don’t share that stance. Most people install ad-blockers to block dodgy advertisers, Facebook and other privacy-invasive websites.
Does Fathom honor DNT requests from visitors?
DNT has been abandoned, so we don't support it by default, but you can honor it by adding honor-dnt="true" to your script.
