![]() ![]() This has an implication for user experience that can be equally burdensome. “There are currently cases pending and on their way to the Court of Justice, looking at if you try and have paywall how much can you charge per month per user before this starts to be a detriment.” “Revokable without detriment impacts the ability to have cookie and pay walls,” says Boardman. Consent has to be freely given and revokable without detriment specific to different processing operations service cannot be dependent on consent it must be as easy to withdraw as it is to give consent and it must be separate from other terms.The “consent has to be demonstrable and unambiguous” and requires “clear affirmative action.” A key driver for the move away from the simple banner reading, “’by continuing to use this site…’ which infers consent which does not provide demonstrable proof.This is why there are multiple screens to reference your partners and linking to a list that typically includes hundreds of parties. The identity of every party relying on consent must be specified.“The individual needs to know the particular purposes for which they are giving consent at a detailed level,” such as distinguishing between cookies for analytics or targeted advertising.īoardman notes that “the TCF goes even further and breaks it down into consent for targeting to display content versus targeting to customize ads versus consent in order to carry out measurements or attribution purposes, for example.” Consent must be specific and informed.The reason the evolving appearance of cookie overlays look the way they do are a function of the detailed GDPR consent requirements, says Boardman. You also have ‘more options’ to exercise more sophisticated control. You can see that Google has moved off ‘agree or customize’ to ‘accept or reject all.’ Notably, the options “are mutually positioned, the same color, and the same size,” notes Boardman. How these changes played out can be seen in the before and after illustrated below. Pressure from privacy activists and from data protection authorities is that this kind of user interface – requiring multiple steps to exercise choice – is arguably unfair, because you’re playing on the subconscious to nudge into accepting. One requirement of the GDPR is that it should be as easy to withhold or withdraw consent as it is to give consent. ![]() While quite common when GDPR became applicable in 2018, it is increasingly being challenged. ![]() ![]() “The choice is to ‘accept’ or ‘manage cookies.’ To say yes to everything or to go into more options (including saying no.)” And as Boardman observes, the use of color and the complicated process to exercise more control, nudges the user towards accepting everything (what could be called a dark pattern). Then, if you click through, you bring up the more detailed information where there’s a list of the particular purposes and third parties. “The idea here is that you have a brief overlay on the homepage. “This next example is a good illustration of an approach which came in with GDPR, but which is increasingly being challenged: This banner has a choice of accepting all cookies or accepting only essential cookies.” They are getting bigger and giving more choice. The pre-GDPR Cookie Banner was “an overlay and just an invitation to click OK. Boardman is currently on the board of directors of the IAPP, and a member of the UK government’s Export Council, advising it on data transfers. Joining Justin to discuss Consent and Preference Management Across the Globe were BBB National Programs Senior VP, Privacy Initiatives Dona Fraser, and Ruth Boardman Co-Head of the Privacy Practice at Bird & Bird. To discuss the evolution of consent and preference management, how we got here, and where it is going, WireWheel Founder and CEO Justin Antonipillai moderated a discussion at the 2022 Summer Spokes Technology Conference (held June 22-23). Now, increasing attention is being paid regarding the burden consent and preference management is placing on consumers and the deleterious impact to the user experience. The granularity of evolving consent requirements, differences in definition and requirements across state laws, the added complexities of managing consent across multiple channels, and other factors have certainly placed a heavy burden on the adtech industry, publishers, and brands. It’s raising very complex user experience questions. is really moving away from just that little cookie banner at the bottom to trying to think through all of the different choices you have to effectuate consent. ![]()
