Kevin, this issue was solved by P3P and didn't work. And having too many 3rd parties where the user doesn't know what they are doing have let to a general feeling of discomfort and that's why we are here. So denying the underlying issue will not buy us anything. as a complement to my other response: At the end of the day, the browser can control the interaction and the browser can request a 3rd party resource, or not. So 3rd parties better declare that they have implemented DNT to generate some confidence. We are creating an entire new ecosystem here. And all have to adapt to this new ecosystem. The user has to make responsible choices. First parties have to take their responsibilities on what to allow on their site. And third parties have to work to regain some confidence. Hiding doesn't help here. Rigo
