Abstract. Since several decades, Web tracking technologies have been implementing mass surveillance on the Web for the purpose of data collection and advertising. The EU regulators aim to protect users with the GDPR requirements for valid consent, which are implemented with cookie consent banners. At the same time, users are manipulated with “dark patterns” in consent interfaces and other systems, and such manipulation happens not only toward the end users, but also toward other actors in the Web ecosystem. In this talk, I will address the questions of regulating cookie consent and dark patterns with the existing and upcoming EU laws, such as GDPR and the Digital Services Act (DSA). I will explore how a collaboration between law, Web measurements and HCI communities can help regulators make legally binding decisions to protect users and discuss the opportunities and challenges in this new transdisciplinary research field.
