From CDT's v2 definition [1], this paragraph is particularly relevant: > CDT also believes that a userʼs decision to enable a DNT mechanism can be overridden upon a > grant of affirmative and specific permission from the user in response to a clear and > conspicuous prompt from a service. For example, a news site could present a dialog box and > request that the user grant permission to a certain ad network to track her on that site as a > condition of service. Or a photo-sharing site could offer users a choice during registration to host > limited amounts of data for free or to host more if the users allow certain third-party tracking. As > long as the request for permission is clear and prominent and a user is given the opportunity to > make an informed choice about the value proposition, companies should be able to obtain a > userʼs affirmative permission to override the generic DNT instruction [1] http://cdt.org/files/pdfs/20110447_DNT_v2.pdf (This is also a test of Tracker and an example for how to contribute relevant input document text to a particular issue.)
