Privacy and consent in the age of browsers: The question of WebRTC - ARTICLE 19. Web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari allow us to view web-based content on all of our devices.
As users, we expect them to act as our “agents” and protect us as we navigate an Internet increasingly filled with malware and other security and privacy-related threats[1] – and they generally do, as increased adoption of HTTPS shows[2]. What happens, however, when the browser cannot both display web content and keep the connection secure and private? The browser has to choose between showing a webpage and potentially exposing the user to a privacy risk, or showing the user warnings that they have to click through. Data privacy - do I need consent?, Iain Bourne. One of the biggest areas of confusion in data protection law surrounds the role of consent.
Put simply, does an organisation need somebody’s permission to collect their personal information? Many organisations think the answer to this question is necessarily ‘yes’. Cookie walls don’t comply with GDPR, says Dutch DPA. Cookie walls that demand a website visitor agrees to their internet browsing being tracked for ad-targeting as the “price” of entry to the site are not compliant with European data protection law, the Dutch data protection agency clarified yesterday.

Cahier IP6 - La forme des choix. Le design des interfaces n’a pas attendu le Règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) pour influencer nos vies.
Pourtant ces questions prennent un tour inédit dès lors qu’elles s’appliquent à des services numériques qui usent et abusent de méthodes de design pour parvenir à nous accrocher et mieux collecter puis traiter nos données, pour des buts poursuivis que nous ne maitrisons pas toujours. Le design de ces services nous affecte tous, car nous dépendons des choix faits par les designers, de ce qui est représenté, et par extension de ce qui ne l’est pas. Dès lors que ces enjeux touchent à des contextes dans lesquels sont traitées et exploitées des données qui nous concernent, le design des interfaces et la manière dont celles-ci nous permettent de prendre des décisions en conscience devient un point central.
L’interface est bien le premier objet de médiation entre la loi, les droits et les individus. Télécharger le cahier IP. Décision 412589. Conseil d'État N° 412589ECLI:FR:CECHR:2018:412589.20180606Publié au recueil Lebon10ème - 9ème chambres réuniesM.

Consumers are not giving informed consent before sharing their financial data. Consumers are not giving informed consent when it comes to sharing their data when signing up to services and apps because terms and conditions are too long and legally complex, research from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has shown.
Despite having concerns about privacy, speed and convenience were overriding factors in deciding whether to sign up to an app or service.
