    After reading the article and the spec, it looks like GPC is another header (like DNT) and a JavaScript variable the client would set. I don’t see why this couldn’t be used for tracking too.

    For HTTP:

    A user agent MUST generate a Sec-GPC header… if… gpcAtNavigation is true.

    For JavaScript:

    The globalPrivacyControl property is available on the navigator object

    There’s no harm in removing DNT if GPC replaces it, but to me GPC just looks like DNT 2.0
