Bug Description

When users send us the DNT header, we should honor it by not logging their IP address anywhere. To disable logging in Apache, see https://we.riseup.net/debian/apache.

We could also expose a tracking policy in /.well-known/dnt and add the "Tk" response header.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ for more info.

As per bug 1394845, we now limit Apache logs on the main server to 10 days (EFF DNT policy) and have remove all logging of IP addresses on the mirrors (via libapache2-mod-removeip).

In addition, we now show a warning to users who don't have effective tracking protection installed (in Firefox, enable privacy.trackingprotection.enabled in about:config) thanks to https://www.aloodo.org/.

So we honor DNT whether or not users send the signal :)

The only third-party we use is also compliant with the EFF's DNT policy: https://ad.aloodo.com/
