>> Revision:	 00
>> Title:		 Overview of Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms for Web Tracking
>> Creation_date:	 2011-03-07
>> WG ID:		 Independent Submission
>> Number_of_pages: 20
>> 
>> Abstract:
>> Web servers and the entities that operate them have long had the
>> ability to track user agents as they access resources hosted across
>> different web domains.  Concern over the privacy implications of such
>> tracking has prompted recent work on a number of solutions that aim
>> to provide a universal opt-out mechanism for web tracking that can be
>> effectuated through a simple binary choice presented to users.
>> 
>> This document provides an overview of the following mechanisms:
>> permanent opt-out cookies, cookie blocking, domain blocking, a "Do
>> Not Track" (DNT) HTTP header, and a Do Not Track Document Object
>> Model (DOM) property.  The aim of this document is to describe each
>> approach, the pros and cons of each, and areas where standardization
>> may be necessary should each approach be further pursued, without
>> making recommendations about which approach or approaches should be
>> adopted.
