Bridging the Privacy Gap : a proposal for enhanced technical mechanisms to strengthen users' privacy control online in the age of GDPR and CCPA / Överbryggande av integritetsgapet : ett förslag till förbättrade tekniska mekanismer för att stärka användarnas integritetskontroll online i en tid av GDPR och CCPA

In the age of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), privacy and consent control have become even more apparent for every-day users of the internet. Privacy banners in all shapes and sizes asks for your permission through more or less challenging designs and makes privacy control more of a struggle than actually helping the users’ privacy. This thesis presents a novel solution expanding on the Advanced Data Protection Control (ADPC) mechanism in order to bridge current gaps in user data and privacy control. It moves the consent control to the browser interface to give a seamless and hassle-free experience for users, while at the same time offering content providers a way to be legally compliant with legislation including the GDPR. Motivated by an extensive academic review to evaluate previous work and identify current gaps in user data control, the aim of this thesis is to present a blueprint for future implementation of suggested features to support privacy control online for users globally.
