Instead of having to navigate through a consent banner on every single website, the browser handles this task. <\/p>\n<p>Technically speaking, GPC works in two ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>HTTP Header<\/strong>: With every request, the browser includes the field ` <span style=\"color: #008000;\">Sec-GPC: 1<\/span> `.<\/li>\n<li><strong>JavaScript API<\/strong>: Scripts on the webpage can query the status using ` <span style=\"color: #008000;\">navigator.globalPrivacyControl<\/span> `.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Example: A user enables GPC in their Firefox browser. As soon as they visit the website, their browser automatically signals that they do not consent to tracking for advertising purposes. As a website operator, this signal should be interpreted technically, and the corresponding scripts and services should be blocked.  <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><div id=\"basic-content-block_0bb78e85a0e4a29940b4e8013e1a30e6\" class=\"basic-content block block--basic-content block--no-margin\" data-title=\"\">\n  <div class=\"basic-content__content content\">\n    <h2>Why now?
