In this example {{httpheader(\"Critical-CH\")}} is also used, indicating that Sec-CH-Prefers-Reduced-Transparency is considered a critical client hint.\n\n> [!NOTE] > We've also specified Sec-CH-Prefers-Reduced-Transparency in the {{httpheader(\"Vary\")}} header, to indicate to the browser that the served content will differ based on this header value — even if the URL stays the same — so the browser shouldn't just use an existing cached response and instead should cache this response separately. Each header listed in the Critical-CH header should also be present in the Accept-CH and Vary headers.\n\nThe client automatically retries the request (due to Critical-CH being specified above), telling the server via Sec-CH-Prefers-Reduced-Transparency that it has a user preference for reduced transparency\n\nThe client will include the header in subsequent requests in the current session unless the Accept-CH changes in responses to indicate that it is no longer supported by the server.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
