How to fix the broken web as a site owner and web developer
<https://markosaric.com/broken-web/> Yesterday there was a lively discussion on Hacker News and different Subreddits around cookie consent walls not being valid according to the GDPR. Ironically, when visiting the article discussed, I was faced with one of the worst and most user-hostile implementations of the cookie law. The web is broken. Behavioral tracking without consent, abuse of personal data, annoying walls, prompts and popups and a lot of disrespect to the web user in general. More technically savvy people use browser extensions and better browsers to avoid most of the noise and have a clean and distraction-free web experience. The “average” internet user on Chrome without extensions is browsing a very broken web and is regularly being taken advantage of. Here’s how you as a website owner and web developer can help fix this broken web so we don’t require hacks and extensions to make it usable and everyone can have a great experience. Table of contents Limit the amount of tracking to the absolutely necessary Ask for consent for preferences when it is relevant How to deal with third-parties and targeted advertising The best way to implement the consent prompt Cookie consent could become a built-in feature of browsers [...]
Grazie Alberto. Interessante l'idea di spostare parte della responsabilità legale sul browser (e su chi li produce), ma dubito che le proposte presentate funzionerebbero più di quanto non abbia funzionato l'header DNT (vedi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track ) e per le stesse ragioni: non puoi chiedere al gatto di proteggere i diritti dei topi. La self-regulation è la sublimazione del far west. Quanto poi alle preferenze del browser, presentano diversi problemi di usabilità. Una frazione degli utenti sa che esistono, per esempio. Inoltre sono per lo più globali mentre l'abilitazione di qualsiasi permesso dovrebbe essere facile e per sito (e sì, è possibile impostare eccezioni ma viene reso scientemente complicato).

Son d'accordo. E' singolare che ci sia un embrione di prospettiva critica da parte degli esperti del marketing, qualcosa di più di un ethic washing. On 15/05/2020 15:41, Giacomo Tesio wrote:
