Hi DNT team, my suggestioin to resolve this issue (based on our revised user-granted exception approach) 1. If a first party receives DNT;1, it can assume that its third parties (in general) also receive DNT;1 2. If a first party receives DNT;0, it can assume that its third parties (in general) also receive DNT;0 3. If it needs more information, it can call the exceptioin API 3. If it needs _reliable_ information, this must to be retrieved from the third parties. Why "in general"? - In general, a site-wide exception for this first party should trigger sending DNT;0 while else DNT;1 is sent - The web-wide exceptions are implemented client side and user agents must be considered unreliable. - This simple signal cannot reflect the compexity of user preferences. The most simple example is that DNT;1 will be sent even if some third parties have a web-wide exception. Note that I believe that there is no need for more signaling (DNT;2, 3, ...). I hope you all agree (if not, please tell me so). Comments / Feedback? Regards, matthias
