It looks like GPC spec creates the same sort of tracking signal that DNT did, but it requests less protection: there is specifically a carve-out in GPC that says websites can track you, including for advertising purposes.

GPC is also not intended to limit a first party’s use of personal information within the first-party context (such as a publisher targeting ads to a user on its website based on that user’s previous activity on that same site).
