Yeah, California is supposed to have a "Do Not Track" option. I've hardly ever seen it.
Do Not Track is a browser setting. You enable it in your browser settings for all websites. All it does is ask the website to please "not track" you. Most sites of course don't even check for the setting.

Yes annoying and also not allowed. You can tell your data protection agency which site is doing it and they will investigate.
