<p>
Several different legal frameworks have been proposed or enacted by jurisdictions around
the world to address this concern. Some models rely upon user consent for tracking. Other
models based on the principle of data minimization simply prohibit certain data sharing or

Some laws and proposals grant users the right to request that their privacy be
protected, including "opt out" requests that their data not be sold or shared beyond the
business with which they intend to interact. Requiring that people manually express their
rights for each and every site they visit is, however, impractical, and an imposition of

However, while the Global Privacy Control is designed to allow users to express a preference to opt out
of sharing and cross-context targeted advertising, the control is not intended to exercise every possible
privacy right, nor even every right to opt out of advertising or ad targeting. GPC is not designed to
exercise deletion rights, for example. GPC is also not designed to address [=same site=] data collection and

This document does not specify what information must be presented to a user before activating
GPC. When a user agent promotes a privacy feature or offers a privacy setting, it can make the
determination if it is appropriate to send GPC based on what has been disclosed to the user.

User agents SHOULD strive to represent what the user agent best believes to be the person's
preference for the Global Privacy Control value. While studies have shown that most people do not
want their data sold or shared, some jurisdictions have enacted "opt-out" legal frameworks

<p>
Exposing a user's preference (in the HTTP header field or {{Window/navigator}} object)
potentially divides users into two groups in a way that might increase the information
available for browser or device fingerprinting. This additional information is available
unless the signal perfectly correlates with other signals or is turned on in a
non-configurable setting. Thus, depending on the implementation, the GPC signal may impose
a privacy cost, though, one intended to be justified by the privacy benefit of sending the
