Correct answer & explanation
✓
The server must programmatically honor the GPC signal as a valid opt-out request without requiring user interaction.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The system must log the user's IP address to verify their residency status before honoring the signal.
Why it's wrong here
Excessive data collection to verify residency for an opt-out signal is generally discouraged.
- ✗
The website must automatically trigger a manual consent banner upon detecting the signal.
Why it's wrong here
The signal should act as a functional opt-out, not just trigger a banner.
- ✓
The server must programmatically honor the GPC signal as a valid opt-out request without requiring user interaction.
Why this is correct
The CPRA requires that opt-out preference signals be honored automatically.
- ✗
The user must be authenticated via OAuth2 to confirm their identity before the signal is processed.
Why it's wrong here
Opt-out requests should be processed even for unauthenticated users.
