Lets think this use case through a bit further. Isn't the ultimate goal of the NYT to prove to advertisers that it is able to deliver a particular demographic profile? That said isn't the NYT going to end up having some sort of intermediary in the authentication chain in the same way they have third parties hosting their ads or doing other hacks for monitoring views? Having experienced P3P I am very wary of protocols that expec users to exercise choice in selecting privacy settings when they are given it. _______________________________________________ dix mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dix
