> "Browser spec to eventually replace GDPR and cookie banners"<p>The HN title is nonsensical. A technical specification cannot replace a law.<p>From the linked document from w3c:<p>> GPC could potentially be used to indicate rights in other jurisdictions as well. For example, the GDPR potentially affords data subjects the right to limit the sharing of personal information under Articles 7 and 21.<p>So, this standard may help to better comply with GDPR. Nowhere in the document there is any indication of "replacing" GDPR being a goal or an effect of the proposed standard.<p>Thank you for sharing the link. I hope for a better title, thou.
