Several different legal frameworks have been proposed or enacted by jurisdictions around

determination if it is appropriate to send GPC based on what has been disclosed to the user.

User agents SHOULD strive to represent what the user agent best believes to be the person's

available for browser or device fingerprinting. This additional information is available
unless the signal perfectly correlates with other signals or is turned on in a
non-configurable setting. Thus, depending on the implementation, the GPC signal may impose
a privacy cost, though, one intended to be justified by the privacy benefit of sending the
