Summary

Nuxt DevTools ships one anonymous telemetry mechanism (documented in the README's "Anonymous Usage Analytics" section), piped through Nuxt's own @nuxt/telemetry package. It already has two opt-outs: the global Nuxt Telemetry config, and the DevTools "Send anonymous statistics" settings checkbox.

This adds a third, standard opt-out: the DO_NOT_TRACK environment variable convention, so users who set DO_NOT_TRACK=1 (or true) in their environment get telemetry disabled unconditionally — both at telemetry:setup hook registration time and at every telemetryEvent() call site — regardless of any other setting.

Changes

  • packages/devtools/src/server-rpc/telemetry.ts: added an isDoNotTrackEnabled() check, gating both setupTelemetryRPC()'s hook registration and telemetryEvent()'s send path.
  • README.md: documented the new DO_NOT_TRACK opt-out alongside the existing telemetry docs.

This PR was created with the help of an agent.

Skip both telemetry setup and event sending when DO_NOT_TRACK=1 (or 'true') is set, per the https://donottrack.sh/ convention, regardless of the module option or the persisted settings toggle.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Nuxt DevTools now recognizes DO_NOT_TRACK=1 and case-insensitive true. When enabled, telemetry setup and event creation stop, regardless of other telemetry settings. The README documents this behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 60973

The change disables anonymous telemetry when DO_NOT_TRACK is enabled. The implementation is localized and merge-ready after normal checks; the README should also mention the supported true value, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Nuxt DevTools also respects the [`DO_NOT_TRACK`](https://donottrack.sh/) environment variable convention — set `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` in your environment to disable Nuxt DevTools telemetry regardless of any other setting.

Document both supported DO_NOT_TRACK values.

Line 180 mentions only DO_NOT_TRACK=1, but the implementation also accepts case-insensitive true. Document both forms to keep the README aligned with the telemetry behavior.
