Web privacy tools to warn of internet tracking cookies
« on: November 14, 2011, 02:21:49 PM »
Internet users will receive a warning if sites do not respect their privacy thanks to new tools being developed by the web's standards setting body.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) wants to help users control how their personal data is managed.

It is designing controls to shield personal data and reveal when sites do not honour privacy requests.

I think this is awesome, my privacy policy is top notch (I believe) and have no qualms about this. When I say I believe mine is top notch on space and science is because I follow it and stand by it.

To write against your name,
He marks - not that you won or lost,
But how you played the game.
