That's good to hear - that was such a silly flaw in DNT, along with the entire concept being idiotic.

- mindslight 5y agoI don't see any other way to do DNT without creating an extra facet of identifying information. It's entire point is to convey that information. Contrast with say "allow notifications" which lots of privacy advice says to leave to "ask" otherwise you needlessly add an identifying facet. That preference should be invisible to the sandboxed program, with unwanted notifications just going to /dev/null. Also DNT is not useless modulo new human rights legislation like the GDPR. I would hope that data protection regulators settle on seeing DNT as an explicit sign of non-consent, and punish websites who try to fraudulently obtain consent with annoying popups etc.
