Abstract

The Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) project [1] provides a standard way for web sites to communicate about their data practices. Developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) [2], P3P includes a machine-readable privacy policy syntax as well as a simple protocol that web browsers and other user agent tools can use to fetch P3P privacy policies automatically. P3P-enabled browsers can allow users to do selective cookie blocking based on site privacy policies, as well as to get a quick "snap shot" of a site's privacy policies.
