It is not for this group to deeply examine, interpret, and pass judgment on the requirements of another organization. As this group has decided to take the approach of permitted uses, then measurement and auditing are permitted uses or not. Attempts to now be highly prescriptive about the nature of those uses are unproductive. Likewise, attempts to anticipate every possible sneaky way a bad actor might try to circumvent this voluntary standard are also unproductive. On the other hand, if we could start with a list of specific types of data and specific risks associated with that data, and then target our solutions to those risks, that would be, in my view, a more effective way forward. (Or, perhaps, we could work from a definition of tracking.) To get started, here's a list of data elements typically available to a third party ad network. I'm sure others on the list can add to it. cookie ID IP address user agent date and time referrer URL Regards, David > I ask you again to please answer them. > > ---------- > John M.
