Hi all, IMHO, ISSUE-49 and ISSUE-137 are strongly related. I suggest to merge them. As far as I understood, we have first parties, third parties and outsourcing/service provider. I vaguely remember that we agreed already multiple times that the definition of outsourcing/service provider follows in essence the paradigm of the EU data processor and thus the outsourcing/ service provider (OSP) has no independent right to process data. This means for the user, that the party using that OSP is the data collector and the data controller. In this case all OSP in whatever way would have to set the "S" flag and not the "1" flag. This is nice for statistical reporting, but has no material consequence on privacy risks or privacy enhancing considerations. I see no material advantage for the user, but a lot of very nice projects for researchers. I do not believe in Roy's fear that the browser will discriminate against "S" because "S" must be labeled everything not materially coming from the same legal entity. Even Akamai would have to label "S". Rigo
