informed-consent | Informed Consent? A Study of “Consent Dialogs” on Android and iOS | Consent dialogs have become ubiquitous with seemingly every website and app pleading users to agree to their personal data being processed and their behaviour being tracked, often with the help of tens or even hundreds of third-party companies. For his master’s thesis, Benni studied consent dialogs on Android and iOS in an automated and dynamic manner, analysing 4,388 popular apps from both platforms. Among other things, he measured the effect of the user’s choice in the consent dialog by comparing the traffic from before any interaction with the traffic after accepting and rejecting the dialog and analysing contacted trackers and transmitted data types. The apps were initially run for 60 seconds without interaction in an Android 11 emulator and on a physical iPhone 7 running iOS 14.8. In the runs of requests with a `runType` of `no-interaction`, nothing else was done. For the ones with `consent-dialog-accepted`, after 60 seconds, a discovered consent dialog was accepted and then they were left running without interaction for another 60 seconds. The same was done for the ones with `consent-dialog-rejected`, but the consent dialog was rejected here. | https://benjamin-altpeter.de/doc/thesis-consent-dialogs.pdf | https://github.com/baltpeter/thesis-mobile-consent-dialogs |
