I am not sure any of us are qualified to speak on behalf of the "universal user", but in several workshops it became clear that the users expected sites "to stop remembering information about me" which is roughly what the current definition says. But nonetheless, what do you think users are asking for? > > Existing text in Sec 2.8: > ============================ > Tracking is the retention or use, after a network interaction is complete, of data records that are, or can be, associated with a specific user, user agent, or device. > ============================ > > > Replacement: > ============================ > Tracking is the act of following a particular user's browsing activity across multiple distinct contexts, via the collection or retention of data that can associate a given request to a particular user, user agent, or device, and the retention, use, or sharing of data that has been collected, derived, or learned from such tracking outside the current context. For the purposes of this definition, a context is a set of resources that share the same data controller and a common branding, such that a user would expect that data supplied to one of the resources is available to all of the others within the same context. > ============================ > > ....Roy > > David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
