I second Aaron’s concerns, which I previously
expressed during the
consultation about the new privacy policy. My main objection to the
proposed solution is that by saying “Wikimedia honors DNT headers” we imply
– by the most popular/de facto interpretation of DNT – that we *do* 3rd
party tracking but we* allow* users to opt out, which puts WMF on par
with aggressive tracking practices adopted by most sites.
But we wouldn't say that; that would be silly. We'd make it completely
clear that we are making use of the header that we think is consistent with
the expectation of users but which departs from the standard in a
significant way.
