“I want to accept all cookies" might be your most uttered lie on the internet, but what does it actually mean? And, does your “choice” actually change how companies use your data? In this session, we will explore these and other common questions concerning mobile apps. We also show you how you can independently analyse how your apps treat your data, by using state-of-the-art research methods. The session will touch on technical and legal topics but requires no prior knowledge of either, only a bit of curiosity.
