+ <h2>Terminology</h2>
+ <p>
+ <dfn>Tracking</dfn> is the collection of data regarding a particular
+ user's activity across multiple distinct contexts and the retention,
+ use, or sharing of data derived from that activity outside the
+ context in which it occurred.
+ A <dfn>context</dfn> is a set of resources that are controlled by
+ the same party or jointly controlled by a set of parties.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A <dfn>user</dfn> is a natural person who is making, or has made,
+ use of the Web.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A <dfn>user agent</dfn> is any of the various client programs
+ capable of initiating HTTP requests [[!HTTP]], including (but not
+ limited to) browsers, spiders (web-based robots), command-line
+ tools, custom applications, and mobile apps.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A <dfn>network interaction</dfn> is a single HTTP request and its
+ corresponding response(s): zero or more interim (1xx) responses and
+ a single final (2xx-5xx) response.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A <dfn>user action</dfn> is a deliberate action by the user, via
+ configuration, invocation, or selection, to initiate a network
+ interaction. Selection of a link, submission of a form, and
+ reloading a page are examples of user actions.
+ <dfn>User activity</dfn> is any set of such user actions.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A <dfn>party</dfn> is a natural person, a legal entity, or a set of
+ legal entities that share common owner(s), common controller(s), and
+ a group identity that is easily discoverable by a user. Common
+ branding or providing a list of affiliates that is available via a
+ link from a resource where a party describes DNT practices are
+ examples of ways to provide this discoverability.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ With respect to a given user action, a <dfn>first party</dfn>
+ is a party with which the user intends to interact, via one or more
+ network interactions, as a result of making that action. Merely
+ hovering over, muting, pausing, or closing a given piece of content
+ does not constitute a user's intent to interact with another party.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In some cases, a resource on the Web will be jointly controlled by
+ two or more distinct parties. Each of those parties is considered a
+ first party if a user would reasonably expect to communicate with
+ all of them when accessing that resource. For example, prominent
+ co-branding on the resource might lead a user to expect that
+ multiple parties are responsible for the content or functionality.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For any data collected as a result of one or more network
+ interactions resulting from a user's action,
+ a <dfn>third party</dfn> is any party other than that user, a first
+ party for that user action, or a service provider acting on behalf
+ of either that user or that first party.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A party <dfn>collects</dfn> data received in a network interaction
+ if that data remains within the party’s control after the network
+ interaction is complete.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A party <dfn>uses</dfn> data if the party processes the data for any
+ purpose other than storage or merely forwarding it to another party.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A party <dfn>shares</dfn> data if it transfers or provides a copy of
+ that data to any other party.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A <dfn>user-granted exception</dfn> is a specific tracking
+ preference, overriding a user's general tracking preference, that
+ has been obtained and recorded using the mechanisms defined in
+ <a href="#exceptions" class="sectionRef"></a>.
