Machine Learning vs. Cookie Consent Systems

Titled CookieEnforcer, the new framework uses Semantic Text Understanding to parse the significance and utility of the underlying code behind the cookie consent popup or banner, in order to provide the user with the missing'one click' solution to disabling all truly'non-necessary' cookies – including the ones that domain owners may present as being'essential', even if they are not. CookieEnforcer examines cookie consent code from the website www.askubuntu.com. The system is implemented via a user-installed web browser plugin, which is capable of applying user-defined rules in a single click. Once a cookie consent framework appears on the website, the user can activate the plugin, which will then trawl the cookie consent code for potential actions before generating apposite JavaScript to enact choices on the user's behalf. The plugin can be set to automatically enforce user preferences, or else take the cases individually, allowing the user to adjust settings before final submission.
