Dark patterns in human-computer interface design: The case of getting cookie consent Authors Antoni Olivé Keywords: dark patterns, websites, cookies, consent, privacy Abstract This paper discusses the dark patterns that are frequently used in the design of the process for getting cookie consent on websites. One of the main purposes of these patterns is to obtain data for third parties about the actions that users perform in a website. This is personal data that affects the privacy of users. This paper analyzes the types of design that are most often used in Europe, and their variants. For each of these types, the options presented to users and the dark patterns which are used in each case are discussed. Based on this analysis, the authors point out which design types make it easier to choose the most beneficial option for users’ privacy. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
