You know what's even better? Not sending anything.
There's no value in sending that bit of information rather than in using what's already readily provided.

Ok but I bet that's easy enough to classify the receiving browser behavior when it gets some rating value from the webserver and it cannot show certain content to user because parental control (i.e. it's not going to do more requests from the same browser fingerprint)
Which Internet standard are you referring to? I’d like to check browser support.
PICS is one older standard for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_for_Internet_Content_...
There's also "Voluntary Content Rating", and the "RTA" marker.
PICS and its successor (Powder) both appear to be abandoned. “Voluntary content rating” and “Rta marker” must be pretty obscure since I’m not finding a good web page.
I think these would be better thought of as attempts to create a web standard rather than an actual web standard?
