first-party third-party

Here is some text aiming to clear up the evident misunderstandings about
parties. It could go in the introduction of the TCS or in the Compliance
paragraph 

 

For the sake of clarity, a first party, as defined in the Definitions
section of this document, is the entity that a user deliberately intended,
in any particular action, to interact with. Other entities, whether or not
they manage servers receiving DNT signals as part of that interaction, are
third parties to that user action. The terms “first party” and “third party”
is not meant to indicate a particular type of entity but only to
differentiate between those that a user intended to interact with, and those
they did not.
