You are right: This heuristics has a bias towards DNT;1 and therefore
can only used if the user has expressed a general DNT;1 preference
(which I assumed but did not write).
This heuristics is in general not permitted as the default. Installed as
default (without obtaining a user preference), it would send DNT;1's
that do not reflect any collected preference.
