title = "Deceptive patterns in consent dialogs on children's websites",
abstract = "Many privacy and data protection laws, such as Article 8 GDPR and the CCPA, establish different requirements when establishing a legal basis for collecting personal data about children. Our study asks whether and how children s websites collect consent. We conduct an automated analysis of 2, 066 educational and gaming websites, and a manual analysis of 13 large sites. We measure the prevalence of deceptive patterns identified in prior work, plus a new design consideration, whether the dialog is addressed to the child user s parent or guardian. A small minority of websites address dialogs for children, which suggest the majority of children s websites in our sample may not comply with Article 8 GDPR.",
