Platform for Privacy Preferences Project
1. Definition
The Platform for Privacy Preferences, or P3P, is a set of procedures and guidelines that allow "information acquiring entities", such as websites, to declare their intended use of information they collect about "consumers of the service", such as users browsing the website. P3P was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and proposed on April 16, 2002. P3P is designed to alleviate few of the most pressing concerns of modern day web visitors; privacy and ease of use. P3P lays a technical framework on legal grounds that ensure privacy and ease of use to some extent.
2. Relationship with W3C
