Comment: EFF would still distinguish protocol data from other data, as we always have. "A third party may collect and use protocol information for any purpose, subject to a two-week retention period. Protocol information includes: -any information that a user agent necessarily shares with a web server when it communicates with the web server (e.g. IP address and User-Agent), and -the URL of the top-level page, communicated via a Referer header or other means, unless the URL contains information that is not unlinkable (e.g. a username or user ID). Protocol information does not include: -any information that a web server could cause to not be sent but still communicate with the user agent (e.g. a cookie or a Request-URI parameter generated by the user agent), except the URL of the top-level page, and -any data added by a network intermediary that the operator of a web server has actual knowledge of (e.g. a unique device identifier HTTP header)." -- Lee Tien Senior Staff Attorney Electronic Frontier Foundation 815 Eddy Street San Francisco, CA 94109 (415) 436-9333 x 102 (tel) (415) 436-9993 (fax) tien@eff.org
