Do Not Track compliance policy - SAMPLE, fictional example.com

This document is a sample of the machine-discoverable policy some sites publish
at /.well-known/dnt-policy.txt to state how they honour the DNT: 1 request

   This policy covers www.example.com and cdn.example.net.

2. What we do on DNT: 1
   - No advertising or analytics identifiers are set.
   - Server logs are retained for 10 days and then deleted.
   - No profile is built and no data is shared with third parties.

3. Exceptions
   - Security logs for suspected abuse are kept for 30 days.
   - Aggregate counts with no identifiers are retained indefinitely.

4. Third parties

Testing contract

Expected to pass

Expected result: The file is retrieved as text/plain, its Version and Updated headers parse to 1.0 and 2026-01-01, and the five numbered sections survive intact.

What is a .txt file?

TXT is a plain-text file containing unformatted character data with no styling or structure beyond line breaks. Its interpretation depends on character encoding, most commonly UTF-8, and on line-ending convention. It is the most universal and portable text container.

How to use this file

Use an example TXT to test encoding detection, line-ending (LF versus CRLF) handling, and any tool that reads or streams raw text input.

How to use this file for testing

“dnt-policy.txt (Do Not Track compliance statement)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Web assets, Editor testing, Metadata testing. Favicons, web app manifests, service workers, robots and sitemap files, Open Graph images, and .well-known resources — for testing web tooling, crawlers, PWA installers, and asset pipelines.

Documented properties for this file: seed 70400 · LF · DNT policy statement. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Web-platform fixtures are standards-compliant samples against fictional example.com data. Test crawlers, PWA installers and manifest validators, favicon/icon pipelines, service-worker registration, or .well-known parsers against the documented structure.
