Thanks for taking up this thought, Rigo. I am still quite concerned about the exceptions of frequency capping and market analysis. It seems to me that these exception will function as green light for third parties to continue several ways of tracking users would most probably not expect with DNT:1. With extensive exceptions for those two areas I worry that few things would change regarding the cross site data collection. Although in my opinion purposes like frequency capping should not be applicable to DNT:1 users at all, I can agree to a less restrictive consensus like session based frequency capping. The time frame we talked about in Brussels - up to 6 months depending on the camgaign - appears far far too long for this purpose. Hardly anyone remembers the ads he/she has seen the last week, let alone last month. The exception of market analysis/market research is not really clear to me in detail. Hopefully, we can talk about this in the call today. - Ninja Am 08.02.2012 12:20, schrieb Rigo Wenning: > On Tuesday 07 February 2012 18:29:45 Roy T.
