Namely saying that "not tracking" means not showing targeted ads to the user while still collecting all the data. As Mike pointed out, the IAB tools have some consent functionality already, so some legal confirmation just furthers their business with their tool. But I don't think it will go as far as DNT that can be used with GDPR. One of the reasons why IAB moved out was that the Tracking protection Group wasn't really keen to allow those nice semantic re-definitions (if you permit the sarcasm). If one calls that "detail", you may be right. --Rigo
