Consent dialogues are a source of annoyance, malicious intent, dark patterns, illegal practices and a plethora of other issues. This work presents known problems based on GDPR requirements grouped into two categories: (i) UI/UX for consenting; and (ii) power imbalance in expressing consent. To resolve this, it presents two proposals: First, the use of automation through privacy signals to better govern consenting processes and to reduce `consent-fatigue'. Second, as generation of consent dialogues on the user side and its practicalities for both websites as well as users and agents (e.g. web browsers). Both proposals are discussed in terms of possibilities for implementation and suitability for stakeholders. The article concludes with a discussion on the difficulties in achieving such solutions owing to the conflicts of interest between `web-enablers' and `web-consumers', and the necessity for the EU to take a direct stance in addressing these in their future laws.
翻译:同意对话是烦恼、恶意意图、黑暗模式、非法做法和许多其他问题的根源,这项工作根据GDPR的要求提出了已知的问题,分为两类:(一) 同意的UI/UX要求;和(二) 表示同意方面的权力不平衡。为了解决这个问题,它提出了两项建议:第一,通过隐私信号使用自动化,更好地管理同意过程和减少“同意-满意”;第二,在用户方面产生同意对话,对网站以及用户和代理人(例如网络浏览器)都产生同意对话,这两份建议都涉及执行的可能性和利益攸关方的适宜性,最后讨论了由于“网络参与者”和“网络消费者”之间存在利益冲突而难以达成这种解决办法的问题,以及欧盟有必要在其未来法律中直接采取立场解决这些问题。
