Fix the 'consent fatigue' problem on the web

234 participants 78 submissions 7 companies watching

Problem Context

Cookie banners, privacy popups, and consent dialogs have made the web worse. Users click 'accept all' without reading because the alternative is painful. Design a consent system that actually works for both users and regulations.

Less than 1% of users read cookie policies. Average website shows 2.3 consent dialogs on first visit. GDPR fines reached €2.1B in 2025. Users spend an estimated 2.5 hours/year clicking consent dialogs. The current system protects nobody.

Constraints

Must comply with GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations
Must give users real control, not theater
Cannot break website functionality
Must work across different browsers and devices

Evaluation Criteria

User comprehension of what they are consenting to
Reduction in consent dialog fatigue
Regulatory compliance
Technical feasibility
