Re: DNT ad tag integration

Travis,

This is a nice idea.  Two constructive thoughts.

-The notification accurately indicates that the user will not receive behaviorally targeted ads.  I believe it is equally important for consumers to be notified that advertising companies may not limit their information collection under the DAA program.
-I don't mind using the phrase "Do Not Track" to describe the browser preference, but I'd advise against using it to describe the DAA program.  I believe a more accurate phrasing, and one I've heard many in the advertising space use, is "Do Not Target."

Best,
Jonathan
