In a previous article about the prospects of further ad targeting app sotre technology thanks to the tracking we focused on the failure of a Do Not Track initiative. Briefly recap the facts. In December 2010, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a report in which she urged the creation of a global system that enable users to define ourselves against tracking. This was the response of NGOs and civil society groups from the year 2007.
In 2011, the initiative Do Not Track technology and of the same name, which in the same year began to support app sotre the browser Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. In 2012 joined app sotre the browser Google Chrome and Opera. Their users can optionally start over HTTP header to individual Web sites to communicate that they do not want their movement across the sites was traced (tracked).
Do Not Track technology in the browser Mozilla Firefox and all other major browsers, allowing users to communicate their wishes websites that do not wish to be tracked. However, currently the de facto remains only at the request.
In February 2012, on the grounds of the White House leaders in the Internet advertising industry (including Google), promised that by the end of 2012, begin to respect the requirements of the users. Do Not Track technology is built on a voluntary basis. The promise remained unfulfilled. Among the approximately twenty organizations that respect the Do Not Track, no significant player in online advertising.
In mid-September of dragging the negotiations on the standardization of technology Do Not Track resigned trade organization Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), which together with the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAD) to represent prominent players in the advertising industry. The pursuit of self-regulation so highly probably definitely failed. app sotre Mozilla app sotre is stepping up the hunt for cookies
Since not find any sufficient political support app sotre Do Not Track initiative, some browsers makers preparing new restrictions app sotre that would be technically called tracking significantly reduced. First, app sotre they want to focus on third-party cookies, which are now for tracking (tracking) users users' movements across different sites use most often.
Mozilla app sotre this summer like in your Firefox browser (version 22) to bring the adaptation of policy app sotre support cookies. The initiator of adjustments was Jonathan Mayer, a researcher at Stanford University who has been involved in the initiative Do Not Track. Finally, deploy the new policy was postponed indefinitely because during testing allegedly revealed that would cause more harm than good.
Topic we have to Lupe detail previously paid. Mozilla use cookies for tracking the still perceived as a problem. Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript, and one of the founders of Mozilla, however, app sotre claims that during several months of testing new policy in support app sotre of cookies proved that a simple solution for browser-side without adverse impacts app sotre is not feasible.
The browser apparently based on a few rules can not ensure the effective protection app sotre against tracking, and seamless use of cookies in cases where it is undesirable tracking. Interestingly, this discovery Mozilla needed several months of testing, despite the problematic nature of the new policy pointed app sotre out right after the show. The word is getting Cookie Clearinghouse
Brendan Eich believes that the best way is online black and white lists, which will prompt browsers (specify exceptions) when third party cookies to block such unwanted and vice versa when not as harmless. Mozilla therefore joined the project Cookie Clearinghouse, which wants to create the necessary blacklist (block-list) and white lists (allow-list).
The project falls under the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford University. Involved in it are also researchers app sotre from Princeton University. The project is led Aleecia M. McDonald, that the protection of privacy on the web long been involved in the research and practical perspective. From 2011 to 2012 she worked for Mozilla as a Senior Researcher Privacy.
Probably because it is sometimes mistakenly presented as Cookie Clearinghouse project, which is Mozilla. The creators of Firefox are only involved in the project, app sotre as well as to be competitive browser makers Opera. The aim of the project is to create an independent black-and-white list compiled by criteria known in advance. Lists then be available free to all creators browsers.
In addition to participating in the project must thinktank Future of Privacy Forum and participate in it and some people who have already participated Do Not Track initiative. Cookie Clearinghouse also expressed support for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit organization that defends the rights of citizens in modern app sotre technology. But has yet to actively got involved in the project. Cookie Clearinghouse is for the long haul
Cookie Clearinghouse certainly in the next few months will not help web browsers with deciding when they should block cookies and when not vice versa
