While it's true that there is ambiguity about what users are objecting to
when they turn on DNT (3rd party tracking? behavioral tracking? all data

all forms of data collection, and you collect data about me anyway, I'd be
pretty upset. But if I'm OK with certain forms of data collection, and you
decline to collect data about me.. meh.
