Privacy choices say when your browser has already decided.
If your browser sends a privacy signal, the Privacy choices dialog now says so first, explains that nothing can be switched on here, and offers only Close. The choices always worked; the dialog just showed switches it could not honor.
LFW.com honors Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track: with either signal on, every optional service stays off, whatever a visitor clicks. That has been true since the dialog shipped.
The dialog used to show the same options and buttons as for everyone else, with a one-line note beneath them, so a visitor with a signal saw a checkbox that would not take. Now the note leads, with an icon, and the switches are gone in that state. The way to make a different choice is in the browser's own settings, and the dialog says so.
Without a signal the dialog is as it was, with two additions that apply everywhere: a close button in the corner, and a click outside the box closes it.
Matched captures of the dialog with a browser privacy signal on, before and after. The before image is rendered with the previous version of the dialog's script, not saved from an earlier day.
