Django utilities for honoring the Do Not Track HTTP header.
Project description
Django utilities for honoring the Do Not Track HTTP header.
Mathieu Leplatre posted an article Django: Do not forget Do Not Track. I really appreciated the post, and wanted to implement the ideas in my projects. Being lazy, I only wanted to do the work once, so I took his ideas and packaged them up with some tests and docs.
Included is middleware for detecting HTTP_DNT and passing its information on to both views and templates via the request object, and a useful context processor. The middleware also adds a vary header for cache control.
This package requires Python 2.7 or newer and Django 1.4 or later.
Refer to the documentation for complete information.
Quick-Start
Installation of the middleware is required. The context processor is convenient and thus recommended.
Settings:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( # default/other processors ... 'donottrack.middleware.DoNotTrackMiddleware', # default/other processors ... ) TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( # default/other processors ... 'donottrack.context_processors.donottrack', )
Then in your template you can do things like:
{% if not donottrack %} {% include "google-analyitcs.html" %} {% endif %}
And your views can also handle DNT:
def my_view(request): if not request.donottrack: # Log some request data ... # continue with view logic
