*Summary* Implementation of Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to enable users to communicate their preference for privacy protection across websites. This feature implements the W3C GPC specification ( https://github.com/w3c/gpc/blob/main/explainer.md) and includes: (1) a user preference setting to enable the Global Privacy Control signal, (2) automatic transmission of the Sec-GPC HTTP header with a value of "1" on all outgoing requests when enabled, and (3) JavaScript API exposure via the navigator.globalPrivacyControl property allowing websites to detect the user's GPC preference. When enabled, this signal indicates the user's request to limit the sale or sharing of their personal information with third parties. *Blink component* Blink>Loader <https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=customfield1222907:%22Blink%3ELoader%22> *Web Feature ID* gpc <https://webstatus.dev/features/gpc> *Motivation* The signal is already implemented by other browsers and Chrome should catch-up with this privacy setting. This year California signed a bill under the CCPA/CPRA that obligates the browsers to provide ability to communicate do-not-sell-or-share preference before 2027. Currently, Chrome allows to send GPC header only via an extension which may be not sufficient to be compliant with the bill. *Initial public proposal* *No information provided* *Search tags* gpc <https://chromestatus.com/features#tags:gpc>, global privacy control <https://chromestatus.com/features#tags:global%20privacy%20control>, Sec-GPC <https://chromestatus.com/features#tags:Sec-GPC>, CCPA <https://chromestatus.com/features#tags:CCPA>, CPRA <https://chromestatus.com/features#tags:CPRA> *Requires code in //chrome?* False *Tracking bug* https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40745270 *Estimated milestones* No milestones specified *Link to entry on the Chrome Platform Status* https://chromestatus.com/feature/5137324344213504?gate=5161638758055936 This intent message was generated by Chrome Platform Status <https://chromestatus.com/>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
