I would take the statements made in this thread that the meaning of GPC doesn't matter with a pinch of salt... The detailed lawyer-level consequences have some thorns but the layperson semantics are IMHO reasonably clear across jurisdictions.

The idea is that the sites you visit can work with other companies that see your data, but those other companies can't then independently reuse the data. I'm a terrible UI copywriter but I think Duck/Brave/Mozilla have text ready if they need it.

("If they need it" because some dispute that people use browsers with expectations of privacy such that it can be the default.)
