Cookie Inquiry Display Control for Cross-Domain Web Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing web page designs that require users to accept or reject cookie-related information collection through an inquiry area disrupt user convenience by either narrowing the content display area or making the entire page inoperable, especially when users do not provide an immediate response.
Innovation Solution
A control method that displays an inquiry area only when transitioning from a first domain to a second domain and omits it upon subsequent domain transitions within the same session without user input, allowing cookie usage based on prior acceptance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an inquiry area for cookie acceptance is displayed on every web page, then compliance with information collection regulations is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates due to narrowed content display area and persistent interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by displaying the inquiry area only when transitioning from a different domain, and uses preliminary recording of user acceptance status to avoid redundant displays. The server records whether the user has accepted cookie usage in advance, and this recorded information is used to control subsequent display behavior, eliminating the need to show the inquiry area repeatedly across all pages.
Solution Approach 2:
The inquiry area display is applied locally rather than globally - it appears only on specific pages under specific conditions (when transitioning from different domains), not on every page. This localized application maintains regulatory compliance at critical decision points while preserving user convenience on other pages where the inquiry would be redundant.
2Loss of information
If the inquiry area is displayed at the center to overlap the web page, then user attention to information collection is ensured, but web page operability deteriorates as the entire page becomes inoperable
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines in advance whether the inquiry area should be displayed based on the referrer domain check before the user arrives at the page. This preliminary determination avoids the need to overlay the inquiry area on top of the web page content, as the decision is made beforehand based on whether it's a cross-domain transition.
3Reliability
If the inquiry area is displayed each time a web page is opened, then regulatory compliance is maintained, but user frustration increases and browsing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary recording of user acceptance status when the inquiry area is first displayed and accepted. This recorded information is then used to control future display behavior, allowing the system to maintain compliance while avoiding redundant displays that would reduce browsing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The inquiry area display is localized to specific conditions rather than applied universally to all page openings. It appears only when transitioning from different domains and only if the user hasn't previously accepted cookie usage, making the compliance requirement local to specific decision points rather than global to all page views.
4Loss of information
If the content display area is narrowed to accommodate the inquiry area, then information collection notice is provided, but user experience deteriorates due to reduced visible content
Solution Approach 1:
The inquiry area is displayed locally only on specific pages under specific conditions (cross-domain transitions), rather than globally on all pages. This localized approach ensures information collection notice is provided where necessary while minimizing the impact on overall content display area across the entire website.

AI summary
In a case where a third web page corresponding to the second domain is displayed based on an operation in the second web page, control is performed based on a referrer in the third web page such that the inquiry area is not displayed, even without receipt of the first operation or a second operation indicating rejection of use of the cookie in the inquiry area displayed together with the second web page.
