Abstract:
We present recommendations and checklists for enhancing the accessibility of browser cookie banners, based on user testing and survey feedback. The study identifies several key challenges, such as lack of clarity, information overload, and manipulative design. We propose solutions, such as standardized language use, simpler interfaces, and preset browser choices to improve both technical and cognitive accessibility. While the study focuses particularly on the needs of people with disabilities, it effectively aims to enable all users to make informed decisions about their privacy online.
