Test Global Privacy Control in the Debugger

Shared by Product • October 05, 2026

The ObservePoint Debugger can now send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, so you can see how your tags, cookies and site respond to a visitor who has opted out.

What's New:

GPC switch: With it on, every request from the tab sends Sec-GPC: 1, and the page reads navigator.globalPrivacyControl as true.
Current tab only: Other tabs aren't affected. GPC starts off and resets when you close the tab.
Reload to apply: After you flip the switch, select Refresh Browser Window to reload the page with the signal.

How to use it: Open the Debugger, turn on the GPC switch in the toolbar next to the menu, then select Refresh Browser Window. Everyone who uses the Debugger has it.
