Re: Action-157: Update logged-in consent proposal

Bjoern,

We've been through this already.  If you send a 0 then a company knows not to request an exception.  If you receive nothing but see this a DNT supported browser then you wouldn't know whether to request a pro-active exception or ignore the situation.  Sending 0/2 provides more clarity of state.
