Deep dives
Global Privacy Control Compared to Do Not Track
Global Privacy Control (GPC) emerges as a more robust alternative to Do Not Track (DNT), which previously allowed users to signal their preference against being tracked online. Unlike DNT, which faced issues with enforceability and led to fingerprinting vulnerabilities, GPC includes a broader scope by addressing the sale and sharing of personal data and aligns more closely with privacy regulations like the CCPA and GDPR. While many privacy-focused browsers like Brave have started to adopt GPC, questions remain regarding its effectiveness, particularly concerning fingerprinting risks. Although GPC may not eliminate all tracking concerns, it provides a stronger framework for protecting personal privacy compared to its predecessor.
