+<p class=option>A third party may only collect, use, and retain for permitted uses information that a user agent necessarily shares with a web server when it
+communicates with the web server (e.g. IP address and User-Agent), and
+the URL of the top-level page, communicated via a Referer header or other
+means, unless the URL contains information that is not unlinkable (e.g. a
+username or user ID).</br></br>A third party may not collect, use, or retain information
+that a web server could cause to not be sent but still be able to
+communicate with the user agent (e.g. a cookie or a Request-URI parameter
+generated by the user agent), except the URL of the top-level page, or
+any data added by a network intermediary that the operator of a web server has
+actual knowledge of (e.g. a unique device identifier HTTP header).</p>

+<p class=note>The EFF/Mozilla/Stanford proposal is heavily dependent upon a requirement that
+permitted use data is not correlated to a unique cookie or other persistent identifier.  This issue
+remains one of the biggest areas of dispute in the working group, as the industry proposal allows for the
+use of cookies and other unique identifiers by third parties despite a DNT:1 instruction.</p>
