Europe : Dure loi des cookies. En Grande-Bretagne, les sites web affichant des bandeaux publicitaires encourent une amende de 500 000 livres. En France, l'amende est de 300 000 euros. Une directive européenne oblige maintenant les sites à demander aux internautes la permission d'envoyer des "cookies" dans leurs ordinateurs. Inapplicable, la loi n'est… pas appliquée.

Co-authored by Arvind Narayanan and Subodh Iyengar. In the first installment of the Tracking Not Required series, we discussed a relatively straightforward case: frequency capping. Now let’s get to the 800-pound gorilla, behaviorally targeted advertising, putatively the main driver of online tracking. We will show how to swap a little functionality for a lot of privacy. Admittedly, implementing behavioral targeting on the client is hard and will require some technical wizardry. It doesn’t come for “free” in that it requires a trade-off in terms of various privacy and deployability desiderata.
