The remedy is an additional P3P code, "DSA". Any web administrator using DSA in her P3P privacy policy indicates she disavows legal liability for her P3P policy and renders it meaningless.

Usingrepparttar DSA code, organizations can publish fictitious P3P codes to enable cookies, while nullifying their legal affect. "The P3P language is simply inadequate for writing legal privacy policies, and corporations are foolish to use it for that purpose," said Mr. Wright. "The DSA code allows them to exploitrepparttar 119304 P3P coding forrepparttar 119305 technical purpose of deploying cookies, while disclaiming thatrepparttar 119306 codes have any substantive or legal effect."

To provide background and detail, Mr. Wright has written a monograph titled "Disavowing P3P Liability" and made it available for sale at http://www.disavowp3p.com. On request, he will e-mail it free to any journalist.

"P3P is a very complex subject that will catch corporations by surprise," said Doug Peckover, CEO of Demand Engine, Inc., a strategic privacy consulting firm. "Few are even aware of P3P's full implications. They need to readrepparttar 119307 analysis of a world-class e-commerce lawyer like Ben Wright."

P3P isrepparttar 119308 Platform for Privacy Preferences, developed underrepparttar 119309 sponsorship of a non-profit organization namedrepparttar 119310 World Wide Web Consortium (also called W3C) http://www.w3.org/p3p, a coalition of industry and non-profit groups.
