This workshop will explore the current state of tools and practices for managing consent online, where those approaches fall short, and how we might rethink consent for better services and people’s digital empowerment. Presentations will share insights from a JRC mapping of consent management solutions, from a city perspective, a report on consent-based service delivery from the Cities Coalition from Digital Rights, and from an ISO proposal for interoperable notice and consent records. Three presentations will be followed by an open discussion.
