    Users frequently receive cookie consent notices when they enter a website. They are supposed to enable an informed decision about data collection. Instead, they often contain deceptive designs - also known as dark patterns - that can nudge users to consent and thus compromise their privacy. In this paper, we explore the causes of the widespread use of dark patterns in cookie consents. To do so, we take the perspective of website operators, who are responsible for the use of cookie consent notices and are increasingly making use of Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) to manage end-user consent. CMPs usually contain certain design templates. To find out whether it is possible for website operators to generate notices without dark patterns using CMPs, we analyzed a selection of the templates offered by major CMPs. We show that 60% of the notices created with default settings contain at least one dark pattern. A notice that does not nudge toward a certain choice could only be generated with 62.5% of the CMPs. Our results imply that the responsibility for privacy-friendly notices lies more with the CMPs than with the website operators.

    Work in Progress: How I met my Privacy Assistant – A User-Centric Workshop
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Workshopband, 2020) Stöver, Alina; Kretschmer, Felix; Cornel, Christin; Marky, Karola
    Privacy Assistants (PAs) are a promising method to support users in making and communicating privacy-related decisions. In this work in progress paper, we present a study design to investigate users perspective on PAs in the context of mobile apps in an explorative user-centric workshop. The participants are asked to provide 1) which information they are comfortable sharing with their PA, 2) how the PA learns this information, 3) how the PA should assist and how it should communicate with the participants, and 4) which entity should provide the PA. Participants are encouraged to think aloud during the workshop and are interviewed as debriefing. The initial results of a pilot study indicate that there may be a great variety of requirements and ideas of a PA between users.
