    They don't wish you to use it, it could be because their forms don't accept it or as an added layer to prevent automated entry.

    It is possible to detect if one has been used so even if a form appears to accept it you are probably better off taking a little bit longer and typing the info in on the few that don't want it rather than risk having a void entry .

    There are very very few sites who say they don't want it used so if they say so I don't use it but I do on all the others.
