Global Privacy Control (GPC) is becoming a formal privacy standard with the first working draft published. GPC aims to give users more control over their personal data by offering browser signals to prevent the sale or sharing of data. It has legal backing in regions like California under CCPA and intended support from GDPR, making it different from the previous Do Not Track (DNT) efforts. Developers can implement GPC by checking the Sec-GPC HTTP header and adapting their data-handling practices. GPC is supported by browsers like Firefox, Brave, and DuckDuckGo, and extensions are available for Chrome and Edge.
