Intent to Prototype: Global Privacy Control

[Benjamin VanderSloot]

Hello all,

I am planning to begin experimentation with the Global Privacy Control in Nightly-only 118.

Summary: GPC is a signal, transmitted over the `Sec-GPC` HTTP header and through the `navigator.globalPrivacyControl` attribute, that conveys a person's request to websites and services to not sell or share their personal information with third parties. This standard is intended to work with existing and upcoming legal frameworks that render such requests enforceable.

Bug: Bug 1848951 - [meta] Support Global Privacy Control

Standards Body: W3C PrivacyCG
