David, What is the definition of "tracking information you are using? Is it from definitions in June draft, i.e.: "Tracking is the retention or use, after a network interaction is complete, of data records that are, or can be, associated with a specific user, user agent or device"? -- Problem "If a third party receives a DNT: 1 signal, then: • the third party must not collect, retain, share, or use information related to the network interaction as part of which it received the DNT: 1 signal outside of the permitted uses as defined within this standard and any explicitly-granted exceptions provided in accordance with the requirements of this standard; • the third party must not use information about previous network interactions in which it was a third party, outside of the permitted uses as defined within this standard and any explicitly-granted exceptions, provided in accordance with the requirements of this standard." 1) We imply but nowhere say, that what third parties must do under DNT:1 is to reduce 'tracking', as defined. 2) We don't allow out-of-band-consent. 3) Exceptions don't need to be mentioned, as they cause DNT:0 to be sent, not DNT:1. Proposal Insert 'tracking' twice and remove exceptions: If a third party receives a DNT: 1 signal, then, unless it has consent from the user: • the third party must not collect, retain, share, or use tracking information related to the network interaction as part of which it received the DNT: 1 signal outside of the permitted uses as defined within this standard; • the third party must not use tracking information about previous network interactions in which it was a third party, outside of the permitted uses as defined within this standard.
