Dear TPWG,<div><div><br></div><div>I have walked through your documents and mailing list archives in search for an answer to my question but I cannot seem to find it. It is essentially two-fold and concerns the relationship between DNT and the GDPR from the point of view of a website. While I understand that legal questions may be tricky my understanding, which may be wrong, is that your current charter is designed to allow for better alignment with European privacy laws. I will therefore formulate my question in terms of use cases.</div><div><br></div><div>1) Is the intent of the&nbsp;Tracking Preference Expression that `DNT:0` would convey consent in the sense of GDPR Article 4, definition 11, and Article 7?</div><div><br></div><div>2) Is the intent of the TPE that `DNT<n1-emoji-autocomplete selectedemoji="1234">:1</n1-emoji-autocomplete>` would convey a user's objection to processing in the sense of GDPR Article 21, specifically paragraph 5 concerning the "right to object by automated means using technical specifications".</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for any information!</div><div><br></div><div>PS: Please do not read this message as indicating that the NYT will necessarily deploy DNT (or do so by the GDPR deadline); at this stage it is simply one aspect (amongst numerous others) that we are looking at.<br></div><br><signature>-- <br>
