Summary

Follow-up to #422. On the Developer Policy page, the "Services targeted to children under 13" bullet says the opt-out parameter is "described here". Per Megan's suggestion, point that link at the Do Not Track section of X Widgets Webpage Properties instead of the general Privacy Policy.

Link text Was (from #422) Now
here (children under 13 bullet) https://x.com/en/privacy /x-for-websites/webpage-properties#do-not-track-parameter

Why

The policy sentence promises instructions for "setting the opt-out parameter to be 'true'". The Do Not Track section documents exactly that (<meta name="twitter:dnt" content="on"> site-wide, or data-dnt="true" per widget). The Privacy Policy is a live page but does not describe the parameter. This is also an internal link, so it won't rot the way the original developer.x.com/docs/twitter-for-websites/privacy URL did.

Verification

  • Ran mintlify dev locally; the rendered href on the policy page is /x-for-websites/webpage-properties#do-not-track-parameter.
  • Clicked the link in the local preview: it navigates to the X Widgets Webpage Properties page at the "Do not track parameter" heading.
  • The same anchor resolves on the live site (docs.x.com/x-for-websites/webpage-properties#do-not-track-parameter).

The 'Services targeted to children under 13' bullet on the Developer
Policy page says the opt-out parameter is 'described here'. Link to
the Do Not Track section of X Widgets Webpage Properties, which
documents the dnt meta tag and data-dnt="true" widget attribute,
instead of the general Privacy Policy.
