Proposal: General principle and rules for conflict rather than table

Proposal from Amy Colando; issue-210

New text

As a general principle, more specific settings override less specific settings, as where the specific consent in user granted exceptions overrides general settings. In the event that a party perceives a conflict between settings, a party may seek clarification from the user or may honor the more restrictive setting.

Editors' Draft Text

  • Opt-Out / No DNT:1 Signal: Treat as DNT: 1
  • Opt-Out / DNT User-Granted Exception: Treat as DNT: 0 for that site; DNT User-Granted Exception is honored
