Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Programmatic propagation of the opt-out signal
Why this is correct
The signal must be actionable by all integrated vendors to be effective.
- ✗
Sending an email confirmation to the user
Why it's wrong here
Communication does not constitute a technical control for data flow.
- ✗
Storing the choice in a local browser cookie only
Why it's wrong here
Browser cookies are insufficient for server-side compliance and downstream propagation.
- ✗
Displaying the privacy policy on the landing page
Why it's wrong here
Displaying a policy is transparency, not enforcement of choice.
