I am certainly not qualified to respond to a "call for experts", but I am willing to participate in the discussions. -----Original Message----- From: public-tracking-request@w3.org [mailto:public-tracking-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Matthias Schunter Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 1:56 AM To: public-tracking@w3.org Subject: Call for Experts: How can a site determine whether it is 1st or 3rd party? Hi Team, during our F2F we agreed that we need a way for a site to determine whether it is acting as 1st or 3rd party. I'd like to form a sub-team of experts to design proposals how this can be achieved and/or identify technical limitations. Working Definition (may be refined by the sub-group): - 1st party: The site that the user visits directly (e.g. by typing the URL) - associated parties: Other sites (with different URLs) that may be exempted. E.g. co-branded sites such as lotus.com that belongings to IBM (and may be run on same or different infrastructure) - 3rd parties: All other sites Challenge: - How can a site tell in what category it is (wrt a request). If you are interested to join the group, drop me a line. Note that the goal is just to prepare proposals that will then be discussed in a larger group.
