I think the idea of a 'nuanced' answer is good. I fear the number of times that a 'simple' answer unambiguously applies might be quite small. The responses in the 100-range below are the 'exception' ones ("I am tracking you"), and I'd suggest that 100-series is probably more logically the 'success' (your request not to be tracked is being more-or-less honored). I like the idea that the existence of these responses allows web sites to say what they are doing even without a request, that's cool. 100 = I see your DNT and respect it completely (same as currently suggested 1) 101 = You have an opt-out cookie, and I am therefore not tracking you 102 = I never track anyone anyway 200 = You asked for DNT but I will not respect it (same as currently suggested 0) [[ should this be a 400-series?? ]] 201 = Will not respect because I am a 1st party 202 = Will not respect because you have explicitly opted in to my tracking 203 = I claim I am Allowed to track because it’s for research (possibly) 205 - I am tracking you to the extent required by law 206 - I am still tracking you for some other/unspecified reason for which there is no distinct response code 300 = I don’t know (could be the default, and probably means the same thing as no response) 4xx - error situations?

I think it's really helpful, especially if the user and the site disagree about what a first party is. It provides excellent feedback. David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
