explainer advice on applicability to different legal opt-out rights (or the shape of alternatives) #125
Description
While the explainer already includes explanatory text about the limits of a GPC preference, and includes advice that is updated from time to time on how a do-not-sell-or-share preference may be relevant or interpreted in different legal jurisdictions, there have also been questions about whether GPC should be modified, or how to express new types of opt-out preferences when jurisdictions wish to provide distinct opt-out style preferences.
Should we update the explainer, particularly Section 4. Legal Effects, to explicitly note that other opt-out rights that do not match a do-not-sell-or-share preference would likely require a different mechanism? If it would be helpful for readers, we could note that either a similar header if the expression is about browsing activity but a different set of preferences, or a differently designed mechanism if the opt-out right is about a different form of data or activity, could be applicable.
(Chair is opening this issue to reflect conversation from TPAC and previous teleconference meetings; if the Working Group doesn't believe a modified, extensible header for GPC is useful, the question was whether Legal and Implementation Considerations Guide updates could be useful pointers to people considering future/additional applicability.)
