COPPA signalling

Peter, Matthias,

 

The US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act restricts targeting of
children without parental consent. Steve Bellovin of the FTC has suggested
that there should be a mechanism for explicit signalling between an child
oriented web site (first-party) to servers handling its embedded third-party
content.

Another subkey to a W3CTP signalling cookie, with browser support to clone
it site-specifically to embedded  third-parties, could be a way to do that.

 

 

Could we discuss this in the next TPE call?
