Proposal: General principle and rules for conflict rather than table

Proposal from Amy Colando; issue-210

New text

As a general principle, more specific settings override less specific settings, as where the specific consent in user granted exceptions overrides general settings. In the event that a party perceives a conflict between settings, a party may seek clarification from the user or may honor the more restrictive setting.

Editors' Draft Text

The above proposal would replace the existing text below from the editors' draft.

As a general principle, more specific settings override less specific settings.

  • No DNT Signal / No Opt-Out: Treat as DNT unset
  • DNT:1 Signal / No Opt-Out: Treat as DNT: 1
  • Opt-Out / No DNT:1 Signal: Treat as DNT: 1
  • Opt-Out / DNT User-Granted Exception: Treat as DNT: 0 for that site; DNT User-Granted Exception is honored
