ISSUE-153: What are the implications on software that changes requests but does not necessarily initiate them?

What are the implications on software that changes requests but does not necessarily initiate them?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)
Raised by:
Opened on:
2012-06-20
Description:
Current (Jan 23, 2013) disallows modification. Question we discussed was "to what extent (and under what constraints) are intermediaries allowed to modify DNT signals and/or implement APIs documented here.

Cases out of scope of this issue:
- Browser plugins are not considered since they are part of the UA
- SW that modifies the browser behavior (e.g., via registry changes)
is technically also part of the UA (should the UA protect itself?)

Usecases considered were:
- A proxy DNT handler for non-DNT browsers
- An enterprise proxy that implements a corporate policy
- A home router that handles DNT for a family
- A internet provider intermediary (configurable by subscribers) that implements DNT within the network
-

2013-01-23: Tentative agreement was: If it modifies, it needs to satisfy UA requirements.
Open question: Validate whether UA requirements are implementable by intermediaries. If this is possible, we may pursue this path further.

added text from action-231

David Singer, 25 Jun 2013, 01:02:55

This comment is from Bryan Sullivan in a duplicate issue (ISSUE-225) that covers the same ground as this one, and also related to ISSUE-205 on TCS.

Short description:
Ensure that any text, e.g. in the current drafts or as proposed by the “User Agent Compliance” change proposal, clarifies that the only criteria for compliance in setting or altering a tracking preference expression is demonstrable adherence to individual user preferences for tracking protection. Where this setting/altering occurs is irrelevant given that the user is demonstrably served per their preferences.

New Text:
Any entity that demonstrably adheres to an individual user’s preferences for tracking protection may set or alter the DNT header for that user. No technical limitations are imposed by this specification on implementations that comply with demonstrable expression of user preference, with regard to how the preference is managed by the user or executed by the entity on behalf of the user.
