Lately, I've come across websites that instead of a cookie banner display a banner that states they recognize and honor my wish to not be tracked. Whether that really do or not is something I did not spend time looking into. The first time I saw it I thought it was a fluke, and then it happened a few more times with in a short time period. Couldn't tell you what sites they were though as it was just something from search results.
GPC must be honored in California. https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa/gpc
According to https://www.didomi.io/blog/global-privacy-control-gpc-2026 it must also be honored in 11 other states but I'm not familiar enough with the specifics regarding those.
Just here to say yeah, I've seen this more of this lately- "The do-not-track signal has been followed" or somesuch.
Wow. I've never seen that. It would be great if it became more widespread.
But isn't DNT deprecated in most browsers? Maybe I misremember.
::shrug:: I set it a long time ago and never looked back. I never looked into it being deprecated, but I knew that pretty much everyone ignored it for reasons. But by these banners, I'm guessing it still lives on as a setting.
