Information Display Control for Session-Based Cookie Prompt Skipping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing web page designs that require users to accept or reject cookie usage through an inquiry area decrease user convenience by narrowing the content display area or making the entire page inoperable, especially with the increasing regulations on personal information collection.
Innovation Solution
A control method that displays an inquiry area for cookie acceptance only on the first domain transition and skips its display on subsequent domain transitions within a session without user interaction, allowing cookie usage based on prior acceptance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the inquiry area is displayed on every web page to ensure compliance with information collection regulations, then regulatory compliance is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to repeated displays narrowing the content area and requiring continuous user interaction
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by obtaining user acceptance for information collection on the first web page before displaying subsequent pages. The acceptance result is stored and reused for subsequent pages, eliminating the need to repeatedly display the inquiry area while ensuring regulatory compliance is established in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies asymmetry by treating the first web page differently from subsequent pages in the browsing session. The inquiry area is displayed only on the first page (asymmetric treatment), while subsequent pages utilize the pre-obtained acceptance result without repeating the display, thus resolving the contradiction between compliance and user convenience.
2Reliability
If the inquiry area is kept displayed until user acceptance or rejection is received, then information collection compliance is ensured, but web page inoperability increases and browsing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system obtains user acceptance in advance on the first web page and stores this result. Subsequent web pages then utilize this pre-obtained acceptance to enable information collection functions without requiring the inquiry area to remain displayed, thereby maintaining compliance while restoring browsing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
After obtaining user acceptance on the first page, the system skips the repeated display of the inquiry area on subsequent pages. This rushing through of the compliance verification process using the stored acceptance result eliminates the blocking effect on browsing while maintaining regulatory compliance.
3Loss of information
If the inquiry area is displayed at the center overlapping the web page to ensure visibility, then message visibility is improved, but content display area is significantly reduced and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The inquiry area is displayed at the center with high visibility on the first web page to obtain user acceptance. Once acceptance is secured, this preliminary action allows subsequent pages to be displayed without the overlapping inquiry area, thus maintaining message visibility where needed while restoring full content display area and user convenience.

AI summary
In a case where a third web page corresponding to a second domain is displayed based on an operation in a 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 a first operation or a second operation indicating rejection of use of the cookie in the inquiry area displayed together with the second web page.
