Hello I18N WG, PING, WS IG, APA WG and Rob,
[Rob, it would be good to have a review from the Article 29 Working
Party, too. Are you able to get such a review?]
The Tracking Protection WG is about to publish an update of the
Candidate Recommendation "Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)" and
would like some review of the changes.
Of course, we welcome reviews of the whole specification, but we're most
interested in comments on section 6, "User-Granted Exceptions", the only
section with non-editorial changes.
That section describes the (JavaScript) API that Web sites can use to
ask users to consent to tracking. This API has been rewritten from the
previous CR, with fewer function calls and with JavaScript "Promises" as
returned values instead of direct results.
We'd like to publish the new CR as soon as possible, so that DNT is
ready when the new European regulations for online privacy come into
force next year. If you could review the section within two weeks that
would be great!
A copy of the specification formatted as a Candidate Recommendation is
available here:

For the TP WG,
Bert
