What is a P3P Compact Privacy Policy and why is it important? |
Problems staying logged in?
Are your web application users having trouble getting logged out during their online sessions? Are they getting a warning from their browser that your e-commerce site does not have a valid privacy policy? Does your network or browser require high privacy settings?
If your forum, blog or shopping cart uses session cookies to maintain a
user's login state, your developer may need to implement a valid,
P3P-compliant Compact Privacy Policy to avoid browser warnings and
session disconnections.
Example of a valid P3P Compact Privacy Policy:

It's not enough to merely have a published privacy statement on your website. Increasingly, browsers such as Internet Explorer and networks such as AOL, Compuserve, and many corporate networks, require a valid, electronic privacy policy. The policy must be both human-readable and computer-readable, and must adhere to very strict coding standards.
Implementing a valid privacy policy can prevent a number of problems, such as:
- your domain's email being identified as spam
- users being denied access to dynamic web applications such as forums or blogs due to restrictive privacy settings on their browser or their network
- users having trouble logging in, or staying logged in during a session
Chattanooga Online can construct and implement a P3P Compact Privacy Policy. As an alternative, you may want to do it yourself:
