      I check this option in options (Do Not Track) but it doens't work. How it works? For specially sites? Or it's an joke.
      Why for example yandex.metrika follow my actions?

        If you don't know how it works, how do you know it doesn't work? Basically, it sends a request to web applications (the sites you visit) that they disable tracking. Unfortunately web applications may choose to ignore it as its not a legal requirement. Who knows how effective it really is. It's surely better to use it though just in case.

            If you activate in Settings -> Privacy & security -> Privacy -> (*) Send a 'Do not track' Header
            Opera will inform the servers not to track.

            Servers are not forced to follow the header and may ignore the wish to stop Tracking.
