To the extent that the response is contextual:

* I believe I am the 1st party and can track you
* you've interacted with me, and so I can now track you
* you gave me (through some mechanism not visible in a DNT request-response transaction, such as visiting a web site and clicking preferences) some kind of opt-in

The user or user-agent deserves to know which clause of the privacy policy they *currently* fall into, and a static document can't tell them that.
