I truly apologize for belaboring this issue, but once the DNT-1 signal is ignored, there is no longer an available opt-out mechanism for the user to employ in order to express their preference. So regulators will then have to decide whether the mere presence of notice that tracking is occurring offers a sufficiently meaningful consent mechanism. Best regards, Tamir
