Global Considerations Task Force (GCTF)
of the
Tracking Protection Working Group

The Global Considerations Task Force discusses the application of the Tracking Preference Expression and the Tracking Scope and Compliance Specifications in various regions of the world. This includes but is not limited to discussions around using the DNT signal to express consent in the sense of Art. 5.3 of the Directive 2002/58/EC as amended by the ePrivacy Directive 2009/136/EC. In order to do that, the Task Force will draft text around minimum collection and permissions in case a service receives a DNT:0 signal.
