I have trouble understanding where the standard is when each company has their 
own. 

Given the absence of a standard the current incentives have let us to a 
situation where those who collect the most data will earn the most money. And 
given this fact, having no standard and no limits, the only thing left is a 
use limitation on collected tracking data against all incentives.

Everything can be expressed by a mere use limitation and I know that some 
defend that model in the US. I do not have the feeling that relying solely on 
use limitations is a possible consensus. But I think even the industry can 
gain from some smart data minimization strategies. Data still has a cost, 
especially if it has to be maintained at a certain quality and is not just a 
mere data-graveyard where you don't know if something is actually correct or 
not. 

The suggestion is to get some more intelligence in frequency capping with 
DNT=1 and not just lay back and do use limitation while tracking as usual. 

I agree that this is a hard nut to crack
