from the spec.:
> We do not specify how tracking preference choices are offered to the user or how the preference is enabled: each implementation is responsible for determining the user experience by which a tracking preference is enabled. For example, a user might select a check-box in their user agent's configuration, install an extension or add-on that is specifically designed to add a tracking preference expression, or make a choice for privacy that then implicitly includes a tracking preference (e.g.,Privacy settings: high).
We (currently) offer you two ways of getting DNT:1 sent:
a) remote-only: in the context of normal browsing; or
b) remote and local ('high' privacy settings): also with a fresh, temporary context that it discarded at the end of the private browsing session;
Yes, we're still working on hooking up all the explanations, links to specs, etc. See the recent email I sent with a draft of 'DNT for users', for example. It'll be easier once the dust has settled.
