This comment has nothing to do with TPE. How a user agent is configured to send (or not send) Cookies is defined by the Cookie RFC and HTTP/1.1. In general, the choice of sending Cookie header fields is left to the user agent configuration, since the right balance between privacy and site (dys)function can only be chosen by the user. A user can make such choices independent of their DNT configuration. ....Roy
