Objection to Option B CDD believes that online users must have information in a machine-readable manner in order to support meaningful and practical decision-making regarding their choices for privacy. Option B does not provide the range of transparency necessary to inform about the parties who can be present at a website. Users need to have comprehensive information in a format that can be examined and acted upon by a user agent. We agree with our EFF colleague that “the ‘other parties’ field offers publishers a compliance framework for the consent requirements under EU law whilst reducing the opportunities for malware and the leakage of user data.” Jeff Chester Executive Director Center for Digital Democracy Washington, DC. www. democraticmedia.org jeff@democraticmedia.org 202-494-7100
