This...this was Do Not Track..
It's so strange that, when dealing with an industry that thought pop-unders were a great idea, asking nicely didn't work. I can't fathom why.
The article is literally about how this is similar/different from Do Not Track and how new laws such as GDPR give it a chance to work where the former didn't.
