The site looks strange for me.
No explanation what it does, instant a register page.

Anyway the topic is about Do no(t) track me and this can be configured in Pale Moon it self.
Go to options -> privacy and look at top.
But remember: enable this feature didn't mean it works because the website can say:
# yes, i respect your setting and do not track you
# no, i do what i want
# yes, i respect your setting but track you even more

Yeah they start making you register before you can even install their add-on from their website. You can get latest compatible version available for us here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/donottrackplus/versions/?page=1#version-4.5.1334.1-signed
With Pale Moon by my side, surfing the web is quite enjoyable and takes my headaches away! :)

So they are tracking you (requiring registration) to let you get an extension that is supposedly helping with tracking? :D

And Ghostery track you too so you didn't need both addons.
Yes i know. Ghostery only track if the option is set. Did anyone realy believe this?

# Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
# web browser
# operating system
# and opt-in settings to share Tracker information with Ghostery, when an installation, upgrade, or uninstallation occurs, and whether the GBE is active or engaged by you.

a. Credit Card Information: Some products, such as LSOD, require payment by credit card after opening an account. In these cases we use a third party called Stripe (https://stripe.com/us/terms ) to collect and process our credit card transactions. Stripe is not affiliated with Ghostery and we have no control over their privacy or security practices. We encourage you to go to their website and review their practices before purchasing one of our commercial products.
Anyway their website doesn't look trustworthy.
