Per the discussion on Issue #94, I've added (or in one case moved up) language to both the spec and the Legal and Implementation Considerations Guide to clarify that same-site tracking is outside the intended scope of GPC.


Preview | Diff

Primarily just moved language up from previous Section 5 to replace the intro into Section 4. Section 5 largely duplicative but also contained the clear disclaimer about same-site tracking, so I thought it made sense to replace as the lead-in to the Legal Effects section.

A lot of the terms in this document do not appear to be linked, including "site" or "same site". Is that intentional?

@annevk I didn't think we needed to define "site" and we gave a concrete example in the Legal and Implementations Guide, but I'm certainly not opposed to adding more to be sufficiently precise.

I think I would either expect these to reference the existing definitions of "site" and "same site" (as defined in the HTML standard) or use different terms.

every --> any 

per @jyasskin, clarifying GPC is not designed to invoke "every" possible right (as opposed to "any" possible right --- it is in fact designed to invoke at least some rights)
