Re: Change Proposals: Issue 10

Alan:

Can you provide use cases?  Are Bluekai and Rubicon (or Admob or Acxiom) common parties if they are service providers?  I don't understand what is being proposed.

Thanks,

Jeff

Regardless, parties MUST provide transparency about what types of entities are considered part of the same party. Examples of ways to provide this transparency are through common branding or by providing a list of affiliates that is available via a link from a resource where a party describes DNT practices.
