us?</h3>
+<hr class="thin" />
 
-  <p>As you browse the Web, your browser sends a header with the request
-of any document that indicates your language preference.  This is
-usually something you can configure in your browser settings.  If you
-downloaded a browser localized in Danish, it probably came
-preconfigured to send <code>Accept-Language: da</code>.  Our servers
-are configured to respond to this header by providing the page in the
-requested language, if the translation exists; otherwise, the original
-English page is sent.</p>
-
-<p>We recently added a &ldquo;Set Language&rdquo; link on the top of
-each page to allow you to override that setting and &ldquo;fix&rdquo;
-a certain language different from your browser's default setting.  For
-example, you could choose <em>English</em> to browse gnu.org even if
-your browser is set to Danish.  This feature uses a cookie.</p>
-
-<p>If you're concerned about your privacy on the Web you can try the
-Tor Browser Bundle available from
-<a href="https://torproject.org/"; rel="nofollow">https://torproject.org/</a>.
-Among many other improvements over generic browsers with regard to
-privacy, the TBB comes configured to appear to be like a
-Windows-based, US-English browser.</p>
+<h3 id="explanation">How do you know my native language?</h3>
 
+  <p>With each web resource requested, your browser sends an HTTP header
+that indicates your language preference as configured by you or by
+your system administrator. Our server reacts to this
+header by providing all web pages in the requested language, if an
+appropriate translation exists; otherwise, the original
+English page is served.</p>
+
+<p>This control panel can be used to override this preference and impose
+any arbitrary language over your browser's default setting. For
+example, you could choose <em>English</em> to browse www.gnu.org even if
+your browser is set to Danish. This feature uses a technical cookie called
+&ldquo;session cookie.&rdquo;</p>
 <p>You're right that the language setting of your browser can be used
-by some sites or third-parties to identify your specific browser and
-target you for advertising.  Tor provides the safest way we know to
-avoid such targeting.  Nevertheless, the GNU project does not use this
-nor any other targeting methods, not even cookies (exception made of
-the optional language override mentioned above): <strong>we simply
-care for our users and have no interest in spying on you</strong>.  The
-<code>Accept-Language</code> header is a common way to localize
-contents according to user preferences.  You can

rel="nofollow">learn more about it from the W3C</a>.</p>
