https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27165 Bug ID: 27165 Summary: User agents should warn users if they bring along unclearable identifiers Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: Windows NT Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Encrypted Media Extensions Assignee: adrianba@microsoft.com Reporter: domenic@domenicdenicola.com QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-media@w3.org As discussed in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2014Oct/0106.html, some DRM implementations---for Silverlight, at least---bring along semi-permanent client IDs. We should consider requiring or strongly recommending that user agents prompt or inform the user if an EME implementation brings along identifiers that cannot be cleared along with regular cookies and site data (similar to Mark’s “more privacy sensitive than regular cookies” bar). I will file a separate bug exploring whether we can require that such identifiers be clearable, but we can use this bug to discuss mitigation strategies if they must be unclearable for robustness reasons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
