According to one embodiment, a web server receives from a web browser running on an Internet-enabled device a HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) request. The HTTP request includes multiple HTTP header fields. A value of at least one of the HTTP header fields has been set based on a web browser privacy setting that was active at the time the HTTP request was generated by the Internet-enabled device. And, the web browser privacy setting was selected by an end user of the Internet-enabled device from among multiple web browser privacy settings supported by the web browser. The value of the at least one HTTP header field is determined by the web server.
