ISSUE-77: How does a website determine if it is a first or third party and should this be included in the protocol?
How does a website determine if it is a first or third party and should this be included in the protocol?
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)
- Raised by:
- Opened on:
- 2011-09-22
- Description:
- There is nothing in HTTP that distinguishes requests made to first-party sites versus requests made to third-party sites. However, a browser knows which requests are directed by the user (making them first-party) and which requests are automatic or scripted subrequests to a site other than the first-party. Should we attempt to communicate that distinction in the DNT protocol or depend on origin servers using different URI patterns to distinguish their third-party resources?
