Abstract

Systems and methods for a contextual data platform are provided. According to one embodiment, a web server receives from a web browser running on an Internet-enabled device a HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) request. The HTTP request includes multiple HTTP header fields. A value of at least one of the HTTP header fields has been set based on a web browser privacy setting that was active at the time the HTTP request was generated by the Internet-enabled device. And, the web browser privacy setting was selected by an end user of the Internet-enabled device from among multiple web browser privacy settings supported by the web browser. The value of the at least one HTTP header field is determined by the web server. Based on the value and responsive to the HTTP request, content tailored in accordance with the web browser privacy setting is returned by the web server.
