Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed detecting whether calls to consent rejection functions originate with an automated tool or a human user. The system can determine that a calls to a consent rejection function are likely from an automated tool by determining that a rate and/or number of calls to a function exceeds a threshold and/or that the calls are received before the interface requesting user consent preferences has been rendered to the user. The system can also require that a function call include a token that an automated tool would not have knowledge of or access to and reject function calls without this token. The system can also use private consent rejection function calls with obfuscated names and/or provide a follow up consent rejections confirmation interface requiring human user input before process a consent rejection.
Description
BACKGROUND

Various websites use tracking tools, such as cookies, to track a user and/or the user's behavior as they are using a browser application (or simply browser) to visit one or more webpages. Such tracking tools may, for example, track a user's interests, location, age, and/or search trends by detecting and analyzing the user's interaction with the webpages. While this information may be used by a website provider to enhance the user's experience, this information may also, or instead, be provided (e.g., sold) to third parties that may use the information, for example, to provide the user with advertisements that are customized to the user. On some websites, the tracking tools themselves are created and/or provided by the third parties seeking to collect user information.


Privacy laws and regulations may require that websites obtain consent from a user before using tracking tools to collect a user's personal data. Many users consent to the use of such tracking tools because the use of tracking tools may enhance the user's experience on websites. For example, some users may consent to the use of cookies as they browse on-line shopping websites because they want to receive offers (e.g., discounts, coupons) that are tailored to their needs and interests. Some users, on the other hand, prefer to block the use of some or all tracking tools. This has resulted in a demand for automated tools to reject the use of tracking tools.


To fill this demand, various developers now offer automated applications that can be integrated into a web browser application (e.g., add-ins, extensions, plug-ins, etc.) that automatically reject any request for consent to use tracking tools. However, by automatically rejecting such consent, the user may not be making an informed decision and the website operator may not be able to ensure the website is in full compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations. Therefore, there is currently a need for improved tools for detecting technologies that automatically block consent requests to ensure that user consent options are fully presented, and that user consent preferences are properly obtained from actual users rather than from automated tools.


SUMMARY

A method, according to various aspects, may include: detecting, by computing hardware, a browser state of a browser application executed on a user device, wherein the browser state comprises a request for a webpage; generating, by the computing hardware and based on the browser state, a consent request interface associated with the webpage by configuring a first control element configured to generate a first call to a consent rejection function on the consent request interface and a second control element configured to generate a second call to a consent acceptance function on the consent request interface; transmitting, by the computing hardware, an instruction to the browser application instructing (e.g., causing) the browser application to present the consent request interface on the user device; detecting, by the computing hardware, the first call; determining, by the computing hardware and based on the first call, that the first call was initiated by an automated consent rejection tool; and in response to determining that the first call was initiated by the automated consent rejection tool, preventing, by the computing hardware, execution of a consent rejection action associated with the consent rejection function.


In particular aspects, detecting the first call comprises incrementing a function call counter associated with the consent rejection function; and determining that the first call was initiated by the automated consent rejection tool comprises determining that the function call counter exceeds a threshold. In particular aspects, the threshold is a number of function calls or a rate of function calls. In particular aspects, determining that the first call was initiated by the automated consent rejection tool comprises detecting the first call before the browser application presents the consent request interface on the user device. In particular aspects, determining that the first call was initiated by the automated consent rejection tool comprises determining that data associated with the first call does not comprise a valid token. In particular aspects, the method may further include: detecting a third call to the consent rejection function; determining that the third call was not initiated by the automated consent rejection tool; and in response to determining that the third call was not initiated by the automated consent rejection tool, executing the consent rejection action associated with the consent rejection function. In particular aspects, determining that the third call was not initiated by the automated consent rejection tool comprises detecting the third call after the browser application presents the consent request interface on the user device.


A system, according to various aspects, may include: a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions; and processing hardware communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the processing hardware is configured to execute the instructions and thereby perform operations comprising: receiving a request to provide a webpage from a browser application executed on a user device; in response to receiving the request, generating a consent request interface associated with the webpage by configuring a first control element configured to generate a first call to a consent rejection function and a second control element configured to generate a second call to a consent acceptance function on the consent request interface; transmitting a first instruction to the browser application causing the browser application to present the consent request interface on the user device; detecting the first call; updating function call data for the consent rejection function based on the first call; determining that the first call was initiated by an automated consent rejection tool based on the function call data; in response to determining that the first call was initiated by the automated consent rejection tool, preventing execution of a consent rejection action associated with the consent rejection function; and transmitting a second instruction to the browser application instructing the browser application to present the consent request interface on the user device.


In particular aspects, the operations may also include: detecting a third call to the consent rejection function; in response to detecting the third call, generating a consent rejection confirmation interface by configuring a display element configured to present a consent rejection confirmation query and a user input element configured to accept user input associated with the consent rejection confirmation query on the consent rejection confirmation interface; and transmitting a third instruction to the browser application instructing the browser application to present the consent rejection confirmation interface on the user device. In particular aspects, the operations may also include: detecting the user input; and executing the consent rejection action based on the user input. In particular aspects, the operations may also include: detecting the user input; and transmitting a fourth instruction to the browser application instructing the browser application to present the consent request interface on the user device. In particular aspects, the operations may also include: detecting a third call to the consent rejection function; determining that a token associated with the third call corresponds to a valid consent rejection function token; and in response to determining that the token corresponds to the valid consent rejection function token, executing the consent rejection action. In particular aspects, the consent rejection action comprises storing an indication of a denial of all requests for consent. In particular aspects, the operations may also include: detecting a third call to an obfuscated consent rejection function; and in response to detecting the third call, executing a second consent rejection action associated with the obfuscated consent rejection function.


A non-transitory computer-readable medium, according to various aspects, may store computer-executable instructions that, when executed by processing hardware, configure the processing hardware to perform operations comprising: detecting browser data associated with a browser application executed on a user device, wherein the browser data comprises a request for a webpage; generating, based on the browser data, a consent request interface associated with the webpage by configuring a first control element configured to generate a first call to a consent rejection function and a second control element configured to generate a second call to a consent acceptance function on the consent request interface; transmitting a first instruction to the browser application instructing the browser application to present the consent request interface on the user device; detecting the first call; generating function call data associated with the consent rejection function based on the first call; determining that the first call was initiated by an automated consent rejection tool based on the function call data; in response to determining that the first call was initiated by the automated consent rejection tool, preventing execution of a consent rejection action associated with the consent rejection function; and transmitting a second instruction to the browser application instructing the browser application to present the consent request interface on the user device.


In particular aspects, generating the function call data for the consent rejection function comprises incrementing a function call counter associated with a plurality of functions; and the plurality of functions comprises the consent rejection function. In particular aspects, determining that the first call was initiated by the automated consent rejection tool comprises determining that the function call counter exceeds a threshold number of calls to the plurality of functions. In particular aspects, the threshold number of calls comprises a threshold number of calls to the plurality of functions during a single loading of the webpage. In particular aspects, generating the function call data comprises determining a time of detection of the first call; and determining that the first call was initiated by the automated consent rejection tool comprises determining that the first call was detected before the browser application presented the consent request interface on the user device based on the time of detection of the first call. In particular aspects, the operations may also include: detecting a third call to the consent rejection function; in response to detecting the third call, generating a consent rejection confirmation interface by configuring a display element configured to present a consent rejection confirmation query and a user input element configured to accept user input associated with the consent rejection confirmation query on the consent rejection confirmation interface; transmitting a third instruction to the browser application instructing the browser application to present the consent rejection confirmation interface on the user device; detecting second browser data associated with the browser application, wherein the second browser data comprises the user input; and executing the consent rejection action based on the user input.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Various aspects now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.


Detection and Prevention of Automated Consent Rejection Tools


The use of tracking tools (e.g., “cookies”) that collect information about a user's interactions with a website and/or webpage has steadily increased over time, as have the privacy laws and regulations applicable to the use of such tools. These laws and regulations may require that websites obtain consent from a user before using tracking tools to collect the user's personal data and/or other interaction information. With the increased use of tracking tools has come an increase in the use of automated consent rejection applications or tools. These tools are designed to block the presentation of an interface or other means of requesting tracking tool consent. The intent of such tools is to automatically deny consent to the use of tracking tools. However, without user interaction with a consent request interface or other consent request means, it may be unclear as to whether affirmation or denial of user consent was actually received.


Automated consent rejection tools may take many forms. The automated consent rejection tool includes program code executable by processing hardware to perform one or more operations, such as issue one or more calls to execute a method or function that rejects or denies a website's request to collect user data (e.g., personal data) and/or may simulate a click, virtually submit, and/or otherwise activate one or more of control elements to simulate a user clicking, submitting, or otherwise activating the one or more elements to deny or reject consent on behalf of the user. The program code for the automated consent rejection tool can be installed on a computing device of a user who is visiting a website. In one example, such an automated consent rejection tool may take the form of a browser extension (which may be referred to as a “plug-in” or an “add-in”) integrated into a browser application that automatically blocks a request for consent. A browser application can include a software tool for accessing content, software functions, or other features over the Internet. Examples of a browser application include, but are not limited to, a software application for accessing different websites (e.g., a CHROME® browser or a MICROSOFT EDGE® browser), an application installed on a computing device that is designed to access specific content providers (e.g., a social media application or a banking application for a specific bank), etc. These automated consent rejection extensions may issue one or more calls to execute a method or function that rejects or denies a website's request to collect user data (e.g., personal data). For example, an automated consent rejection extension may call a function that rejects all requests for consent (e.g., a “RejectAll( )” function or any similar function or method, may be referred to as a “reject all” method or function). By performing such a function call, the extension may automatically suppress a banner or prevent other means of requesting consent from being presented to a user.


An automated consent rejection extension may also, or instead, scan the text of a webpage and/or associated code (e.g., HTML code) for one or more elements (e.g., HTML elements) associated with denying or rejecting a request (e.g., all requests) for consent. In response to detecting such elements, the extension may simulate a click, virtually submit, and/or otherwise activate one or more of the detected elements to simulate a user clicking, submitting, or otherwise activating the one or more elements to deny or reject consent on behalf of the user. By performing these actions before the webpage has time to fully render the user interface on the screen, the extension may suppress a banner or prevent other means of requesting consent from being seen by the user at all.


In various aspects, a system for detecting an automated consent rejection tool may be configured to detect the use of technologies that automatically attempt to block the presentation of a consent request and/or the receipt of consent from a user. Such a system may be a consent management provider (CMP) system that obtains and manages consent data on behalf of an entity. The system, in response to detecting such a tool, may take steps to ensure that a request for consent is still presented to a user, despite the presence and/or execution of the automated consent rejection tool.


Generation and Use of Private Consent Rejection Methods and Functions


Automated consent rejection tools will often use a call to a public method or function configured on a webpage that rejects or denies all requests presented for consent, such as a banner, interface, or other visual request to approve the use of one or more tracking tools (e.g., cookies). A “public” method or function is a method or function that has a commonly used name for such functions and/or methods that reject requests for consent so that automated consent rejection tools are able to recognize such functions or methods more easily on a webpage. Alternatively, or in addition, automated consent rejection tools may scan code (e.g., HTML, code) associated with a webpage to identify text that may be associated with one or more elements for denying or rejecting a request for consent and then simulate and/or submit a click corresponding to such elements. In response to detecting the call of such a method or function and/or the simulation of a click of a reject/deny element (e.g., based on and/or in combination with various criteria), the system may reject the call or click and/or request user intervention in order to complete execution of the method or function.


In various aspects, in order to prevent an automated consent rejection tools from preemptively closing a request for consent, the system may configure a webpage with a private method or function that, when called, may deny (e.g., all) requests for consent (e.g., via a banner requesting consent to use cookies). Here, a “private” method or function is a method or function given a name that is not commonly used by functions and/or methods that reject requests for consent and are generally unrecognizable by automated consent rejection tools. Therefore, in particular aspects, the system may obfuscate the calls to such private methods and/or functions to form obfuscated consent rejection functions so that they do not have standardized names and/or are not publicly or commonly known. In such aspects, the system may label such functions and/or methods with names based on, or associated with, the particular domain at which they are to be used. For example, rather than using a common and/or public call name (e.g., “RejectAll( )”) for a function that rejects all requests for consent, the system may label such a “reject all” function configured on a first webpage in a first domain with a first particular label (e.g., “9d7fa9( )”) and a different particular name for a similar function configured on a second webpage in a second domain (e.g., “adskfjoi0( )”). By using such customized and/or private function/method calls, the system may prevent automated consent rejection tools from blocking banners and/or other requests for consent by ensuring that the names of the functions or methods for rejecting all requests for consent remain unknown to such automated tools and/or difficult to discover. In such aspects, these automated tools may have no way of determining the proper means to call the private (or obfuscated) function or method, and therefore, no way to easily and generally deny all requests for consent. Also, with various websites and/or webpages using different private or obfuscated names for such functions, a provider of automated tools for blocking consent requests will have much greater difficulty in calling such functions because it will be much more difficult to discover and maintain up-to-date knowledge of each particular private function name, rather than one or a handful of commonly used names for functions or methods that reject all requests for consent.


In particular aspects, the system may configure a webpage with one or more private “reject all” method/function calls and one or more public “reject all” method/function calls. In other aspects, the system may configure a webpage with only private “reject all” method/function calls or public “reject all” method/function calls. In various aspects, the system may also, or instead, configure a webpage with any combination of any number of public and/or private “accept all” functions or methods that accept or provide consent to all requests for consent.


In aspects that include the use of a public “reject all” method or function call (e.g., “RejectAll( )”), for example, in a webpage that is also configured with a private “reject all” method or function call, the system may configure the code associated with the public method of function call to perform no functions or no function related to rejecting consent. For example, the system may configure such a method or function to be empty, return without taking any consent rejection actions, return null, and/or perform other actions that do not reject consent. A consent rejection action includes program code executable by processing hardware to perform one or more operations, such as recording the consent rejection and/or blocking the use of a tracking tool used on a website. For example, a consent rejection action may involve recording the consent rejection in some type of repository for documentation purposes. In addition, a consent rejection action may involve blocking the use of some type of tracking tool such as a cookie. The program code for a consent rejection action can be installed on a server within a CMP system or on a computing device being used by the user who is visiting the website.


In particular aspects, a public “reject all” method or function may be configured to perform consent rejection actions, but those actions may differ from those performed by an obfuscated “reject all” method or function. In this way, the system may be able to detect and track the issuer of calls to such methods or functions. For example, the system may determine and/or record that an internal system issued a call to the obfuscated “reject all” method or function by virtue of the call being made to the obfuscated “reject all” method or function, whereas the system may determine and/or record that an external system issued a call to the public “reject all” method or function by virtue of the call being made to the “reject all” method or function that is available and/or known outside of internal systems.


In various aspects that employ one or more private function or method calls that reject all requests for consent, the system may “seed” (e.g., insert, include) the values or labels for such calls into one or more scripts and/or code associated with a website and/or webpage so that these values would be known to the system, but difficult or impossible for a third party (e.g., a provider of automated tools for blocking consent requests) to guess or discover. In this way, the system may ensure that such private function or method calls are available to it without making such calls public. In particular aspects, the system may generate a name for such a function or method randomly, based at least in part on website-related and/or webpage-related information (e.g., domain, URL, etc.), based at least in part on any other information, and/or based at least in part on any combination thereof.


Detection and Blocking of Automated Consent Rejection Tools


In various aspects, the system may be configured to also, or instead, enable the use of one or more public methods or functions to deny or reject all requests for consent (e.g., a public “reject all” method or function), but may analyze the manner in which a call to such a function or method is made to determine if the particular function/method is being called by an automated consent rejection tool.


In particular aspects, the system may analyze the timing of a call to a particular function or method to deny or reject a request for consent (e.g., a call to a public “reject all” method or function) to determine whether the function call is likely to have been made by an automated tool. The system may determine whether such a function call was made before or after the presentation of the request for consent has been rendered to the user. If the function call was made before the webpage was able to render the request for consent (e.g., via a consent request interface) to the user, the system may determine that such a call was made by an automated tool because the call was made before a human user reasonably would have been able (e.g., would have been physically able) to see and respond to the request such as, for example, by clicking on a control element configured in the consent request interface that would have generated a call to the consent rejection function or method. Here, for example, the consent request interface may have been generated to include a first control element, such as a button, dropdown menu, checkbox, etc., that can be activated (e.g., click on) to generate the call to the consent rejection function or method. In addition, the consent request interface may have been generated to include a second control element, such as a button, dropdown menu, checkbox, etc., that can be activated (e.g., click on) to generate a call to a consent acceptance function or method. A consent acceptance function includes program code executable by processing hardware to perform one or more operations, such as submitting and/or recording a consent acceptance from the user who is visiting the website to allow for performance of one or more actions on the web site such as the use of a tracking tool to collect data (e.g., personal data) on the user. The program code for a consent acceptance function can be installed on a server within a CMP system or on a computing device being used by the user who is visiting the web site.


If the system determines that the function call was made before the consent request interface was presented to a user or otherwise rendered, the system may take steps in response to ensure that a request for consent is presented to the user. For example, if the system determines that the function call was made before the consent request interface was presented, the system may not process such a call as a valid consent rejection or may otherwise perform no consent rejection actions despite the function call. The system may also, or instead, continue to take steps to generate, present, and/or render the consent request interface (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device). In some aspects, in response to determining that the function call was made after the consent request interface was rendered, but faster than a human reasonably could have responded to seeing the consent request interface (e.g., the function call was made within 10 milliseconds—or another predetermined period of time—of the consent request interface being rendered), the system may not process such a call as a valid consent rejection or may otherwise perform no consent rejection actions despite the function call.


If the system determines that the call was made some time after the webpage was able to generate, present, and/or render the consent request interface (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device), the system may determine that such a call could have been the result of human user interaction in response to the request for consent (e.g., by a human user clicking on a control on the consent request interface that activated a call to the function or method to reject consent). In this case, the system may process the consent rejection normally or otherwise process the call to the consent rejection function as a valid call.


In various aspects, the system may analyze the number and/or frequency (e.g., rate) of multiple calls to one or more consent rejection functions or methods to deny or reject (e.g., all) requests for consent to determine whether the calls were likely to have been made by an automated tool. For example, by analyzing the number of calls to a rejection function, the number of calls to the rejection function in a certain period of time (frequency/rate), or the number of calls to the rejection function during a particular activity (e.g., a single loading of the webpage), the system may determine whether the number or rate of function calls corresponds to human activity or to the actions of an automated tool. If many calls to a consent rejection method or function were made (e.g., 30-40 calls), or many calls were made in a short amount of time (e.g., 30-40 times or more in a very brief time period, such as during the loading of a single webpage), the system may determine that such multiple calls were made by an automated tool. In response, the system may not process such calls as valid consent rejections or otherwise may perform no consent rejection actions despite the multiple calls to the consent rejection function. In such cases, the system may continue to take steps to ensure that a request for consent is presented to the user by, for example, generating, presenting, and/or rendering the consent request interface (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device) despite the consent rejection function calls.


If a call to a consent rejection method or function is made only once or multiple calls are made a relatively few times (e.g., 1-5 times, less than 10 times, etc.), the system may determine that calls were made by a human user (e.g., clicking a control on a consent request interface once or a few times). In this case, the system may process the consent rejection normally or otherwise process the call to the consent rejection function as a valid function call.


In various aspects, the system may analyze information provided or associated with a call to a function or method to deny or reject (e.g., all) requests for consent to determine whether the call is likely to have been made by an automated tool. For example, the system may integrate a requirement that a signed token be “passed” in (e.g., provided within or associated with) the call to a public “reject all” function on a particular website (e.g., “RejectAll(signed_key)”). This token may be generated and passed to the system when the function call is generated using the controls on a consent request interface that may be manipulated by a user. However, an automated tool that generates function calls automatically and sends them directly to the system (e.g., without user interaction with the consent request interface) may not have knowledge or means of generating and passing such a token. Because the automated tool cannot generate an appropriate token, the function calls generated by such a tool may be detected by the system by virtue of the absence of such a token in the tool's function calls.


In such aspects, when a function is called via a webpage (e.g., in response to manual human user interaction with a consent request interface), the system may evaluate the token generated by the web page in response to the user interaction and transmitted in the function call to the system to determine whether it corresponds to an appropriate webpage-generated token (e.g., a token associated with an owner, operator, or other authorized entity associated with the webpage or associated website, etc.) or not. If not, the system may determine that the function call was made by an automated tool and take steps to ensure that a request for consent is still presented to the user and may not perform consent rejection actions. In this way, the system may distinguish between a function call generated by a user directly activating a control element on the webpage and a function call automatically made and transmitted directly to the system by a browser extension or other automated consent rejection tool. In determining whether a call is likely to have been made by an automated tool, the system may analyze any information that may be passed by a call to a function or method, or any information associated with a function or method.


In various aspects, the system may take additional steps to determine whether a call to a consent rejection function was made by, or otherwise originated with, a human user. For example, if the system determines, using any one or more of the methods set forth herein, that one or more calls to a consent rejection method or function have likely been made by an automated consent rejection tool, the system may be configured to take one or more additional steps to ensure that the denial of the request for consent was not received from a human user. Alternatively, or in addition, if the system determines, using any one or more of the methods set forth herein, that one or more calls to a consent rejection method or function have likely been made by a human user and not by an automated tool, the system may be configured to take one or more additional steps to ensure that the denial of the request for consent was not received from an automated consent rejection tool. A consent rejection function includes program code executable by processing hardware to perform one or more operations, such as submitting and/or recording a consent rejection from the user who is visiting the website and has declined performance of one or more activities on the website, such as the use of a tracking tool to collect data (e.g., personal data) on the user, and/or taking steps to block performance of the one or more activities. The program code for a consent rejection function can be installed on a server within a CMP system or on a computing device being used by the user who is visiting the website.


In various aspects, in order to determine whether a call to a consent rejection function originated with a human user, the system may, in response to a detection of such a function call, prevent or suspend the execution of the call and present a consent rejection confirmation interface that requests further user input regarding consent despite the function call. In particular aspects, the system may suspend the execution of the call and present an interface to the user requesting manual confirmation that a human user is interacting with the system by providing a specific type of input, such as typing in characters recognized in an image (e.g., text “CAPTCHA”) and/or selecting one or more images that include a particular item from a group of images (e.g., image “CAPTCHA”). If the user provides the appropriate input, the system may determine to confirm that the user is a human user and may continue or allow the execution of the consent rejection function call. If the user fails to provide the appropriate input to the consent rejection confirmation interface, the system may cancel the execution of the consent rejection function. In such cases, the system may also continue to attempt to obtain consent from a human user.


Example Computing Environment


Referring now to the figures, FIG. 1 depicts an example of a computing environment for detecting an automated consent rejection tool being used to automatically attempt to block the presentation of a consent request and/or the receipt of consent from a user according to various aspects. Here, a user on a user computing device 160 may be visiting a website and requesting to render a webpage for the website. The user may be using a browser application residing on the user computing device 160 that includes a browser extension configured for blocking consent requests (e.g., an automated consent rejection extension). In some instances, the automated consent rejection extension may automatically submit a call to a “reject all” method or function associated with the webpage. In other instances, the automated consent rejection extension may simulate a click to activate one or more elements to simulate the user clicking the elements to deny or reject consent on behalf of the user and as a result, submitting the call to the “reject all” method or function. Thus, the call may be communicated over a network 150 to a consent management provider (CMP) system 100 as shown in FIG. 1


The CMP system 100 or a computing system that provides a website that can execute program code for providing one or more interfaces, such as a consent request interface or a consent rejection confirmation interface. Each of these interfaces includes program code executable by processing hardware to perform one or more functions. These functions can include detecting events generated by an input device that is operated by a user (e.g., mouse clicks, dragging inputs, taps, pinches, applying pressure with a stylus, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, these functions can include implementing commands indicated by the user-generated events.


In one example, a consent request interface could include one or more sets of program code that control the operation of a display device (e.g., by rendering one or more interfaces on the display device that solicit input indicative of a consent to a transaction) and obtain data for transmission to a remote computing system (e.g., by receiving the input indicative of a consent to a transaction). For instance, one or more interface elements (e.g., menus, pop-up dialogs, etc.) within the consent request interface could allow an input device to provide input indicating consent to a transaction. One or more event listeners for the consent request interface can detect events, such as data entry in certain fields or menu selections, that are used to indicate consent. These events could include detecting interaction with the consent request interface itself (e.g., clicking a displayed button) or detecting interaction with other content in which the consent request interface is displayed (e.g., clicking on features provided by a website after the consent request interface notifies a user that continued interaction indicates consent). The program code for the consent request interface could include or communicate with other program code for transmitting consent data (e.g., the input or control data derived from the input) to the CMP system 100 or a computing system that provides a website.


Additionally or alternatively, a consent rejection confirmation interface could include one or more sets of program code that control the operation of a display device (e.g., by rendering one or more interfaces on the display device that solicit input confirming rejection of consent to a transaction) and obtain data for transmission to a remote computing system (e.g., by receiving the input confirming the rejection of consent). For instance, one or more interface elements (e.g., menus, pop-up dialogs, etc.) within the consent rejection confirmation interface could allow an input device to provide input confirming that consent to a transaction has been rejected. One or more event listeners for the consent rejection confirmation interface can detect events, such as data entry in certain fields or menu selections, that are used to provide this input. These events could include detecting interaction with the consent rejection confirmation interface itself (e.g., clicking a displayed button) or detecting interaction with other content in which the consent rejection confirmation interface is displayed (e.g., clicking on features provided by a website after the consent rejection confirmation interface notifies a user that continued interaction indicates consent). The program code for the consent rejection confirmation interface could include or communicate with other program code for transmitting consent data (e.g., the input or control data derived from the input) to the CMP system 100 or a computing system that provides a website.


Accordingly, in various aspects, the CMP system 100 receiving the call to the “reject all” method or function from the user computing device 160 may comprise one or more servers executing a number of different modules to perform the functionality as just described. Specifically, in particular aspects, the CMP system 100 includes a Private “Reject All” Consent Function Module 110. The Private “Reject All” Consent Function Module 110 is configured in various aspects to determine whether to perform the functionality associated with the call or not. For instance, in some aspects, the Private “Reject All” Consent Function Module 110 determines whether the call has been made to an obfuscated “reject all” method or function or a public “reject all” method or function and performs corresponding actions accordingly. For example, the Private “Reject All” Consent Function Module 110 may reject all consent for the user (e.g., process the consent rejection for the user) if the call has been made to an obfuscated “reject all” function and perform no consent rejection action for the user (e.g., not process the consent rejection for the user) if the call has been made to a public “reject all” function.


In addition, in particular aspects, the CMP system 100 includes a Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Module 120. The Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Module 120 is configured to in some aspects to determine whether the call has been received before a consent interface can be rendered and displayed to the user. If this is the case, then the Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Module 120 does not process the consent rejection for the user. In addition, the Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Module 120 is configured in some aspects to determine whether the call results in a number of calls being made to the method or function that exceeds a threshold. If this is the case, then the Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Module 120 also does not process the consent rejection for the user.


Further, in particular aspects, the CMP system 100 includes a Tokenized Consent Rejection Function Module 130. The Tokenized Consent Rejection Function Module 130 is configured in various aspects to determine whether the call received from the user device 160 is associated with a valid token. If so, then the call is considered to have originated from the user and the Tokenized Consent Rejection Function Module 130 processes the consent rejection accordingly. If not, then the Tokenized Consent Rejection Function Module 130 does not process the consent rejection for the user.


Finally, in particular aspects, the CMP system 100 includes a Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140. The Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140 is configured to determine whether the call has likely originated from the user (e.g., a human) or an automated tool. If the Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140 determines the call has not likely originated from the user, then the Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140 presents a consent rejection confirmation interface to the user to confirm the consent rejection. If the user does confirm the consent rejection through the consent rejection confirmation interface, then the Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140 processes the consent rejection accordingly. If not, then the Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140 does not process the consent rejection for the user. Further detail is now provided on the configuration and functionality of the different modules 110, 120, 130, 140 according to various aspects of the disclosure.


Private “Reject All” Consent Function Process



FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a private “reject all” consent function generation and operation process that may be performed by a Private “Reject All” Consent Function Module 110 according to various aspects. In executing the Private “Reject All” Consent Function Module 110, the system begins at Step 210 by determining a name for an obfuscated “reject all” function. In particular aspects, the system may randomly generate a function name. In other aspects, the system may generate a function name based on a domain associated with the webpage to be generated and/or use any other information that may be associated with the webpage. In particular aspects, the system may take steps to ensure that the function name generated does not match a function name already in use (e.g., in the same domain, in code associated with another webpage, etc.). Further at Step 210, the system may generate the function code for the obfuscated “reject all” function.


At Step 220, the system may generate the webpage code for a webpage and may include or integrate into such code the obfuscated “reject all” function generated at Step 210. In particular aspects, the code generated for the webpage may also include a public “reject all” function. As noted herein, this public “reject all” function may perform no consent rejection actions or different consent rejection actions from those performed by the obfuscated “reject all” function generated at Step 210. In other particular aspects, the code generated for the webpage may not include a public “reject all” function.


At Step 230, the system may receive a request or instruction to generate and/or present the webpage and may, in response, generate and transmit one or more instructions to present the webpage (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device).


At Step 240, the system may determine whether a call to the obfuscated “reject all” function has been detected. If so, at Step 250, the system may perform the consent rejections functions associated with the obfuscated “reject all” function.


At Step 260, in those aspects that include a public “reject all” function associated with the webpage, the system may determine whether a call to the public “reject all” function has been detected. If so, at Step 270, the system may perform the consent rejections functions associated with the public “reject all” function (e.g., different functions than those associated with the obfuscated “reject all” function or no consent reject functions).


Automated Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Process



FIG. 3 illustrates an example of an automatic consent rejection function call prevention process that may be performed by a Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Module 120 according to various aspects. In executing the Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Module 120, the system begins at Step 310 by generating and transmitting an instruction to present a webpage (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device) that is configured and/or associated with one or more consent rejection functions (e.g., a “reject all” function).


At Step 320, the system may detect a call to a particular consent rejection function configured on the webpage. In response to detecting this function call, the system may update function call data for the particular consent rejection function by incrementing a function call counter associated with the particular consent rejection function (and may first initialize such a counter if the function call is the first call detected to this particular consent rejection function). The function call counter includes program code executable by processing hardware to perform one or more operations, such as indicate a number of times in which a call had been made to the particular consent rejection function since the webpage was generated and presented to a user. The program code for the automated consent rejection tool can be installed on a server within the system. The system can access and use the function call counter by accessing memory in which the function call counter is being stored (e.g., memory of a server used in the system) and increment the counter accordingly. In particular aspects, the system may generate, initialize, and maintain a function call counter for each particular consent rejection function configured on a webpage that tracks the number of times the particular consent rejection function has been called since the webpage was generated and presented to a user. Alternatively, or in addition, a function call counter for a particular consent rejection function may track the number of times the particular consent rejection function has been called in a particular time period and/or during a particular activity, such as a single loading of the webpage.


Alternatively, or in addition, the system may generate, initialize, and maintain a function call counter for all, or a subset, of the consent rejection functions configured on a webpage. In such aspects, the system may track the number of calls to one or more of various consent rejection functions configured on a webpage using a single counter that tracks the total number of calls to the functions associated with the counter (as opposed to the number of calls to each particular consent rejection function). Such a function call counter may track the number of times the any of the consent rejection functions associated with the counter have been called since the webpage was generated and presented to a user. Alternatively, or in addition, a function call counter for one or more various consent rejection functions may track the number of times the any one of the associated consent rejection functions have been called in a particular time period and/or during a particular activity, such as a single loading of the webpage. Still further, the system may track the number of calls to one or more various consent rejection functions across multiple webpages within a website, in a domain, or in a subdomain.


At Step 330, the system may determine whether the call to the consent rejection function detected at Step 320 was received by the system before the consent interface that allows a human user to provide input that would generate a call to that particular consent rejection function has been rendered on a user device. In particular aspects, this particular step may involve the system updating function call data for the consent rejection function by determining a time of detection of the call to the consent rejection function and using the time of detection in determining whether the call was received before the consent interface has been rendered on the user device. If the function call was detected before the associated consent interface was fully rendered, the system may determine that the call must have been made by an automated tool because the interface that allows a user to provide input that would generate such a function call was not available to the user. The system also may determine that the call must have been made by an automated tool because the function call was made after the consent request interface was rendered but before the user reasonably could have responded (e.g., a response in less than 10 milliseconds). However, if the function call was detected after the consent interface was rendered, the system may determine that the function call may have been the result of human user interaction and may therefore process the consent rejection normally.


If the interface providing a means for a human user to generate the detected function call was not rendered before detecting the function call, the system may, at Step 340, not process the function call as a valid consent rejection and/or may not perform the consent rejection actions or activities associated with the function call. The system may also, at Step 340, continue to take actions to ensure that the consent interface is presented to a user to obtain consent preferences. In this case, the system may return to Step 320 for subsequent function call detection. If, at Step 330, the system determines that the function call was detected after a rendering of the associated consent interface on a user device, the system may then move to Step 350 to determine whether the number of calls to that particular function exceeds a threshold or rate of function calls that may indicate the use of an automated tool. Alternatively, the system may, at Step 360, process the consent rejection normally and/or perform the actions and/or activities associated with the function call.


At Step 350, the system may determine whether the number of calls to a particular consent rejection function or a set of consent rejection functions associated with a particular function call counter exceeds a threshold. Depending on the aspect, the threshold may be manually or automatically set. For instance, in particular aspects, the threshold may be set by an individual through an interface provided by the system. In other aspects, the threshold may be set through an automated process such as the system automatically setting the threshold based on a history of automated tools submitting multiple calls to a consent rejection function. For example, in some aspects, the system may be configured to make use of a machine learning model that has been trained on a history of automated tools submitting multiple calls to generate a threshold.


Accordingly, the system may be configured to determine that any number of calls to a particular consent rejection function or a set of consent rejection functions greater than a predetermined threshold value (e.g., 25, 30, 50, etc.) indicates that the calls are likely being made by an automated tool. Alternatively, or in addition, the threshold may be a rate threshold indicating a number of calls in a particular time period or during a particular activity. For example, the system may be configured to determine that a rate of function calls (e.g., a number of calls to a particular consent rejection function or a set of consent rejection functions (e.g., 25, 30, 50, etc.) within a particular time period (e.g., 30 seconds, one minute, five minutes, etc.)) greater than a predetermined rate threshold value (e.g., one call per second, 100 calls per minute, 250 calls within five minutes, etc.) indicates that the calls are likely being made by an automated tool. In another example, the system may be configured to determine that a number of calls to a particular consent rejection function or a set of consent rejection functions greater than a predetermined threshold value (e.g., 25, 30, 50, etc.) during a single loading of the webpage indicates that the calls are likely being made by an automated tool.


If, at Step 350, the system determines that the number of calls to a particular consent rejection function or a set of consent rejection functions exceeds the threshold number of calls or rate, the system may, at Step 340, not process the function calls as valid consent rejections and/or may not perform the consent rejection actions or activities associated with the function call, continuing to take actions to ensure that the consent interface is presented to a user and/or consent preferences are otherwise properly obtained. If, at Step 350, the system determines that the number of calls to a particular consent rejection function or a set of consent rejection functions does not exceed the threshold number of calls or rate, the system may move to Step 360 to process the consent rejection normally and/or perform the actions and/or activities associated with the function call. If, at Step 240, the system does not process the function calls as valid consent rejections and/or does not perform the consent rejection actions or activities associated with the function call, the system may also return to Step 220 to analyze subsequent calls to one or more consent rejection function calls.


Tokenized Consent Rejection Function Process



FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a tokenized consent rejection function process that may be performed by a Tokenized Consent Rejection Function Module 130 according to various aspects. In executing the Tokenized Consent Rejection Function Module 130, the system begins at Step 410 by generating and transmitting an instruction to present a webpage (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device) that is configured and/or associated with one or more tokenized consent rejection functions (e.g., a public “reject all” function). The webpage may be configured to generate and present (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device) a consent request interface that includes a consent rejection control element that is configured to generate a call to one or more consent rejection functions. This interface may be configured to generate and/or include a particular token with the call to one or more consent rejection functions that it generates and/or transmits to the system in response to a user activation of the consent rejection control element on the consent request interface.


At Step 420, the system may detect a call to a particular consent rejection function configured on the webpage. In response to detecting this function call, the system may analyze the information included with the function call and/or associated with the function call to identify one or more tokens. In particular aspects, the webpage may generate and/or include such a token when a user activates a control element that generates a call to a consent rejection function on a consent request interface. Alternatively, or in addition, the system may include information in a function call (e.g., a pointer) that indicates such a token.


At Step 430, the system may determine whether the token associated with the detected function call is a valid token (e.g., that it is associated with the webpage and/or a consent request interface). If the token is not valid (or not present), the system may determine that the call must have been made by an unauthorized system or script (e.g., an automated tool, a browser extension, etc.) because the call does not include a token that would have been included if the call was made by the consent request interface associated with the webpage. However, if the token is valid, the system may determine that the function call must have been made as a result of human user interaction with the consent request interface associated with the webpage and may therefore process the consent rejection normally.


If the token is determined to be invalid at Step 430, the system, at Step 440, may not process the function call as a valid consent rejection and/or may not perform the consent rejection actions or activities associated with the function call. The system may also, at Step 440, continue to take actions to ensure that the consent request interface is presented to a user to obtain consent preferences. In this case, the system may return to Step 420 to detect any subsequent consent rejection function calls.


If, at Step 430, the system determines that the token is valid, the system may then move to Step 450 to process the consent rejection normally and/or perform the actions and/or activities associated with the detected function call. The system may also continue to detect and evaluate subsequent consent rejection function calls at Step 420.


Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Process



FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a consent rejection function confirmation process that may be performed by a Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140 according to various aspects. In executing the Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140, the system begins at Step 510 by generating and transmitting an instruction to present a webpage (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device) that is configured and/or associated with one or more consent rejection functions (e.g., a public “reject all” function). The webpage may be configured to generate and present (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device) a consent request interface that includes a consent rejection control element that is configured to generate a call to one or more consent rejection functions. This interface may be configured to generate a call to one or more consent rejection functions in response to a user activation of the consent rejection control element on the consent request interface.


At Step 520, the system may be configured to detect a call to a consent rejection function and determine the likelihood that the call has been made by an automated tool (e.g., an automated consent rejection tool). In making this determination, the system may use any effective means, including the methods described herein (e.g., number, rate, and or frequency of function calls, presence of valid token in the function call, etc.). Based upon this determination of the likelihood of the function call originating from an automated tool, the system may determine whether or not to present a consent rejection confirmation interface requesting further user input to confirm that the consent rejection function call originated with a human user.


For example, if the system determines (e.g., using one or more methods described herein) that it is highly (e.g., overwhelmingly) likely that the function call originated with a human user, the system may determine that no additional confirmation of a human user is necessary. Alternatively, the system may be configured to request additional confirmation in the event that it is highly likely that the function call originated with a human user to be certain that consent preferences were properly received. Similarly, if the system determines (e.g., using one or more methods described herein) that it is highly likely that the function call originated with an automated tool, the system may determine that no additional confirmation of a human user is necessary since there is little chance that there was a human user involved. Alternatively, the system may be configured to request additional confirmation in the event that it is highly likely that the function call originated with an automated tool just to be certain that consent preferences from a human user are not ignored.


In various aspects, if the system is unable to make a determination of the likelihood of an automated tool making a function call, or if the determined likelihood is not definite, the system may determine to present a consent rejection confirmation interface to obtain additional information for determining the origin of the function call. Alternatively, or in addition, the system may be configured to present a consent rejection confirmation interface for each consent rejection function call to ensure that valid human user input is received for all activities initiated by such a function call.


At Step 530, the system may determine whether to generate and transmit an instruction to present a consent rejection confirmation interface (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device) based on the likelihood of the function call originating from an automated tool. If the system determines to present the consent rejection confirmation interface, at Step 540 the system generates and transmits an instruction to a user device to present the consent rejection confirmation interface (e.g., on a web browser application executing on a user device). Accordingly, in some aspects, the consent rejection confirmation may be generated to include a display element to present a consent rejection confirmation query and a user input element associated with the consent rejection confirmation query. For example, the user input element may be one or more control elements such as buttons, dropdown menus, checkboxes that allow for a user to confirm or decline the consent rejection. In another example, the user input element may be one or more CAPTCHA challenges. Further at Step 440, the system detects user input (or a lack thereof) in the consent rejection confirmation interface (e.g., from a browser state or browser data associated with a web browser application executing on a user device).


If, at Step 530, the system determines not to generate and present a consent rejection confirmation interface, the system, at Step 560, may not process the function call as a valid consent rejection and/or may not perform the consent rejection actions or activities associated with the function call. The system may also continue to take actions to ensure that a consent request interface is presented to a user to obtain consent preferences (e.g., by returning to Step 520 to detect any subsequent consent rejection function calls). For example, the system may determine that it is highly likely that the function originated with an automated tool, and therefore there is no reason to pursue further confirmation.


Alternatively, if, at Step 530, the system determines the call likely did originate from a human rather than an automated tool, the system, at Step 570, may process the consent rejection normally and/or perform the actions and/or activities associated with the detected function call. The system may also continue to detect and evaluate subsequent consent rejection function calls (e.g., by returning to Step 520). For example, the system may determine that it is highly likely that the function originated with a human user and therefore there is no reason to pursue further confirmation.


If the system has determined to present a consent confirmation interface at Step 530 and has detected input at that interface (or a lack thereof) at Step 540, the system may, at Step 550, determine whether the consent rejection confirmation interface input is indicative of a human user. For example, system may determine whether the user input element, such as a button or a checkbox, associated with the consent rejection confirmation query has been activated (clicked and/or selected) confirming the consent rejection and thus, a human response. In another example, the consent rejection confirmation interface may request input regarding one or more CAPTCHA challenges. If the system determines that the detected input indicates a human response to the one or more CAPTCHA challenges, the system may determine that such input is indicative of interaction with a human user. Alternatively, if the system determines that the input does not correspond to input that would typically be associated with a human user, or if the system detects no input received via the consent rejection confirmation interface, the system may determine that there is no human user interacting with the consent rejection confirmation interface (and therefore the function call likely originated from an automated tool).


If the system determines that the consent rejection confirmation interface input is indicative of a human user, the system may, at Step 570, process the consent rejection normally and/or perform the actions and/or activities associated with the detected function call. The system may also continue to detect and evaluate subsequent consent rejection function calls (e.g., by returning to Step 520).


If the system determines that the consent rejection confirmation interface input is indicative of an automated tool, the system, at Step 560, may not process the function call as a valid consent rejection and/or may not perform the consent rejection actions or activities associated with the function call. The system may also continue to take actions to ensure that a consent request interface is presented to a user to obtain consent preferences (e.g., by returning to Step 520).


Technical Contributions of Various Aspects


An entity that handles (e.g., collects, receives, transmits, stores, processes, shares, and/or the like) sensitive and/or personal information associated with particular individuals (e.g., personally identifiable information (PII) data, sensitive data, personal data, etc.) may request consent from such individuals before handling their information. For various reasons, such individuals may deny consent for the entity to process their information. As an increasing number of entities attempt to comply with consent requirements associated with various laws and regulations around the world, more and more websites and webpages require an indication of consent preferences (e.g., allow or deny collection of personal data, etc.) from a user before allowing the user to access the page or site. Many users find these requests for consent to be annoying and therefore have installed tools that automatically deny consent to a webpage or website without requiring that an actual human user actively review and respond to the request for consent presented by the webpage or website. This may be a problem for entities because such automated consent rejection tools may perform function calls and other activities related to denying consent at a rate and frequency much greater than that possible of a human user, thereby wasting consent processing resources and other system resources. This may also be an issue for entities that are required to obtain consent from users because consent feedback from automated tools may not satisfy the legal requirements for obtaining consent preferences. In conventional systems, such automated consent rejection tools are difficult or impossible to distinguish from human users and are therefore allowed to operate unchecked, resulting in a waste of resources and decreased consent processing efficiency.


Accordingly, various aspects of the present disclosure overcome many of the technical challenges associated with efficiently interacting with automated consent rejection tools in a networked computer environment. More particularly, various aspects of the present disclosure include implementing a specific technical solution of determining whether calls to consent rejection functions originate with a human user or an automated tool based on various attributes of the function calls. The various aspects of the disclosure are directed to a computational framework configured for determining whether a function call originated with an automated tool based on whether the function call was made to a public consent rejection function, or a private (obfuscated) consent rejection function configured on a webpage. If the call was not made to the private consent rejection function, the system may determine that it originated with an automated tool and may not process the consent rejection associated with the function, essentially ignoring it, and saving system resources while continuing to attempt to obtain consent preferences from a human user. Alternatively, or in addition, the computational framework may be configured for determining whether a function call originated with an automated tool based on a number of times the function call was made or the timing of the function call. If the function call was received before the interface requesting consent was rendered to the user or before a particular time thereafter, the system may determine that the call must have been made by an automated tool. If the function call is one of a large number of function calls (e.g., total, within a particular time period, during a single loading of the webpage etc.), the system may determine that the call was likely made by an automated tool. The framework may also, or instead, require a token known to the system to be passed with a function call and reject as related to an automated tool any function calls lacking the token. The framework may also, or instead, require an additional confirmation of the consent rejection by presenting a consent rejection confirmation interface that requires appropriate human user input (e.g., “CAPTCHA”) before processing a consent rejection. By automatically ensuring that a consent rejection actually is received from a human user and preventing the processing of consent rejections received from automated tools, the various aspects represent a significant improvement to existing and conventional processes for obtaining and processing consent preferences.


Accordingly, various aspects of the disclosure provided herein are more effective, efficient, accurate, and faster in determining whether and how to process consent rejection function calls received from remote devices in a networked computer environment. The various aspects of the disclosure provided herein provide improved means of increasing efficiency of computing environments that use consent data to control delivery of content or functionality via the Internet. For instance, features described herein can block consent rejections from automated tools from being processed, ensure that consent rejections are received from actual human users rather than from automated tools, or some combination thereof. The features described herein thereby improve the operation of software tools for consent management that may be used to, for example, process many consent rejection function calls received from many “users” that often may be automated tools. In facilitating the efficient processing of consent rejection function calls, the various aspects of the present disclosure make major technical contributions to improving the computational efficiency and reliability of various privacy management systems and procedures for obtaining and processing consent. In turn, this translates to more computationally efficient software systems.


Example Technical Platforms


As will be appreciated by one skilled in the relevant field, data processing systems and methods for detecting tools for the automated blocking of consent requests and taking responsive action, according to various aspects described herein, may be, for example, embodied as a computer system, a method, or a computer program product. Accordingly, various aspects may take the form of an entirely hardware aspect, an entirely software aspect, or an aspect combining software and hardware aspects. Furthermore, particular aspects may take the form of a computer program product stored on a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable instructions (e.g., software) embodied in the storage medium. Various aspects may take the form of web, mobile, and/or wearable computer-implemented computer software. Any suitable computer-readable storage medium may be utilized including, for example, hard disks, compact disks, DVDs, optical storage devices, and/or magnetic storage devices.


It should be understood that each step described herein as being executed by a system or systems (and/or other steps described herein), and any combinations of such steps, may be implemented by a computer executing computer program instructions. These computer program instructions may be loaded onto a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions which execute on the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to create means for implementing the various steps described herein.


These computer program instructions may also be stored in a computer-readable memory that may direct a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to function in a particular manner such that the instructions stored in the computer-readable memory produce an article of manufacture that is configured for implementing the function specified in the flowchart step or steps. The computer program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to cause a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer or other programmable apparatus to produce a computer implemented process such that the instructions that execute on the computer or other programmable apparatus provide steps for implementing the functions specified in the flowchart step or steps.


Accordingly, steps of the block diagrams and flowchart illustrations support combinations of mechanisms for performing the specified functions, combinations of steps for performing the specified functions, and program instructions for performing the specified functions.

Example System Architecture



FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a consent management provider system 100 according to a particular aspect. As may be understood from this figure, the system 100 may include one or more computer networks 150, a server 620, a storage device 630 (that may, in various aspects, contain one or more databases of information). Accordingly, the system 100 may be in communication over the one or more computer networks 150 with one or more user computing devices 160 such as a tablet computer 640, a desktop or laptop computer 650, a handheld computing device 660 (e.g., a cellular phone, a smart phone, etc.), a browser and Internet capable set-top box 670 connected with a television (e.g., a television 680), and/or a smart television 680 having browser and Internet capability. The user computing devices 160 attached to the network 150 may also, or instead, include scanners/copiers/printers/fax machines 690 having one or more hard drives (a security risk since copies/prints may be stored on these hard drives). The server 620 and storage device 630 may be physically located in a central location, such as the headquarters of an organization, for example, or in separate facilities. The server 620 and/or storage device 630 may be owned or maintained by employees, contractors, or other third parties (e.g., a cloud service provider, a copier vendor). In particular aspects, the one or more computer networks 150 facilitate communication between the server 620, one or more user computing devices 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 690, and/or storage device 630.


The one or more computer networks 150 may include any of a variety of types of wired and/or wireless computer networks and any combination therefore, such as the Internet, a private intranet, a public switched telephone network (PSTN), or any other type of network. The communication link between the server 620, one or more user computing devices 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 690, and/or storage device 630 may be, for example, implemented via a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), and/or via the Internet.


Example Computing Hardware Architecture



FIG. 7 illustrates a diagrammatic representation of the architecture of computing hardware 700 that may be used within the system 700, for example, as a user computing device 160 (e.g., one of computing devices 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 690, shown in FIG. 6) and/or as a server (e.g., server 620 shown in FIG. 5). In some aspects, the computing hardware 700 may be suitable for use as a computer within the context of the system 100 that is configured to operationalize the various aspects of the systems and methods describe herein. In particular aspects, the computing hardware 700 may be connected (e.g., networked) to other computing hardware in a LAN, an intranet, an extranet, and/or the Internet. As noted above, the computing hardware 700 may operate in the capacity of a server 620 or a user computing device 160 in a client-server network environment or as a peer computer in a peer-to-peer (or distributed) network environment. The computing hardware 700 may be a personal computer (PC), a tablet PC, a set-top box (STB), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a cellular telephone, smart phone, a web appliance, a server, a network router, a switch or bridge, or any other computing hardware capable of executing a set of instructions (sequential or otherwise) that specify actions to be taken by that computer. Further, while only a single computing device is illustrated, the term “computing hardware” as used herein shall also be taken to include any collection of computing devices that individually or jointly execute a set (or multiple sets) of instructions to perform any one or more of the methodologies discussed herein.


The computing hardware 700 may include a processor 702, a main memory 704 (e.g., read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) such as synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) or Rambus DRAM (RDRAM), etc.), a static memory 706 (e.g., flash memory, static random access memory (SRAM), etc.), and/or a data storage device 718, which communicate with each other via a bus 732.


The processor 702 represents one or more general-purpose processing devices such as a microprocessor, a central processing unit, or the like. More particularly, the processor 702 may be a complex instruction set computing (CISC) microprocessor, a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessor, a very long instruction word (VLIW) microprocessor, or a processor or processors implementing other instruction sets and/or any combination of instruction sets. The processor 702 may also be one or more special-purpose processing devices such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a digital signal processor (DSP), network processor, or the like. The processor 702 may be configured to execute processing logic 726 for performing various operations and steps discussed herein.


The computing hardware 700 may further include a network interface device 708. The computing hardware 700 also may include a video display unit 710 (e.g., a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a cathode ray tube (CRT)), an alphanumeric input device 712 (e.g., a keyboard), a cursor control device 714 (e.g., a mouse), and/or a signal generation device 716 (e.g., a speaker). The data storage device 718 may include a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium 730 (also known as a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium or a non-transitory computer-readable medium) on which may be stored one or more modules 722 (e.g., software, sets of instructions) embodying any one or more of the methodologies and/or functions described herein. For example, the one or more modules 722 may include the Private “Reject All” Consent Function Module 110, Consent Rejection Function Call Prevention Module 120, Tokenized Consent Rejection Function Module 130, and/or Consent Rejection Function Confirmation Module 140 as described herein. The modules 722 may also reside, completely or at least partially, within the main memory 704 and/or within the processor 702 during execution thereof by the computing hardware 700, the main memory 704 and the processor 702 also constituting computer-accessible storage media. The modules 722 may further be transmitted or received over a network 150 via the network interface device 708.


While the computer-readable storage medium 730 is shown in an example to be a single medium, the terms “computer-readable storage medium” and “machine-accessible storage medium” should be understood to include a single medium or multiple media (e.g., a centralized or distributed database, and/or associated caches and servers) that store the one or more sets of instructions. The term “computer-readable storage medium” should also be understood to include any medium or media that is capable of storing, encoding, and/or carrying a set of instructions for execution by a computer and that cause a computer to perform any one or more of the methodologies of described herein. The term “computer-readable storage medium” should accordingly be understood to include, but not be limited to, solid-state memories, optical and magnetic media, etc.


Example of a System Platform


According to various aspects, the processes and logic flows described in this specification may be performed by a system (e.g., system 100) that includes, but is not limited to, one or more programmable processors (e.g., processor 702) executing one or more computer program modules to perform functions by operating on input data and generating output, thereby tying the process to a particular machine (e.g., a machine programmed to perform the processes described herein). This includes processors located in one or more of user computing devices (e.g., user computing devices 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 690 of FIG. 6). These devices connected to the one or more computer networks 150 may access and execute one or more Internet browser-based program modules that are “served up” through the one or more computer networks 150 by one or more servers (e.g., server 620 of FIG. 6), and the data associated with the program may be stored on a one or more storage devices, which may reside within a server or computing device (e.g., main memory 704, static memory 706), be attached as a peripheral storage device to the one or more servers or computing devices, and/or attached to the network (e.g., storage device 630).


Alternative System Environment


In various aspects, an alternative system environment may be used for detecting an automated consent rejection tool being used to automatically attempt to block the presentation of a consent request and/or the receipt of consent from a user according to various aspects. Instead of the functionality described herein with respect to the various modules 110, 120, 130, 140 being carried out in a consent management provider system 100 remote from the user computing device 160 rendering the webpage via a browser application, the functionality may be implemented as a script (e.g., JavaScript) to run on the webpage as the webpage is rendered. Accordingly, the script (or scripts) may be configured to include the functionality of the various modules 110, 120, 130, 140 described herein and operate in a similar manner in handling calls made to methods and/or functions used in rejecting consent. Therefore, instead of the call to a method and/or function being sent to the consent management provider system 100, the call is instead handled locally on the user computing device 160 through the script.


Advanced Processing in Various Aspects


In various aspects, the system uses advanced processing techniques to analyze function calls, determine the origins of a function call (e.g., human user or automated tool), determine whether to obtain confirmation interface consent, analyze input data that may indicate whether a human user is interacting with an interface, and/or implement any of the various aspects of the disclosed systems and methods. In particular aspects, the system may determine a type of input and/or a type of originator of a function call using advanced processing techniques that may include artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networking, big data methods, natural language processing, contextual awareness, and/or continual learning (in any combination). In particular aspects, the system may evaluate interface input using any one or more of these advanced processing techniques and/or any combination thereof. In various aspects, the system may use any such advanced processing techniques to perform any of the processing (e.g., execute any of the modules) described herein to locate, identify, retrieve, modify, and/or perform any other functions related to consent, consent-related function calls, and obtaining consent from users, including generating interfaces and analyzing function calls.


In particular aspects, one or more neural networks may be used to implement any of the advanced processing techniques described herein. A neural network, according to various aspects, may include a plurality of nodes that mimic the operation of the human brain, a training mechanism that analyzes supplied information, and/or a personal data location engine for performing any one or more of the functions involving consent and function calls as described herein, including, but not limited to, generating consent request and consent rejection confirmation interfaces, and analyzing function calls and interface input. The neural network may also perform any of the processing (e.g., execute any of the modules) described herein to locate, identify, retrieve, modify, and/or perform any other functions related to consent and calls to functions or methods. In various aspects, each of the nodes may include one or more weighted input connections, one or more transfer functions that combine the inputs, and one or more output connections. In particular aspects, the neural network is a variational autoencoder (AE) neural network, a denoising AE neural network, any other suitable neural network, or any combination thereof.


CONCLUSION

Although aspects above are described in reference to various systems and methods for automated blocking of consent requests and taking responsive actions, it should be understood that various aspects of the system described above may be applicable to other types of systems, in general.


While this specification contains many specific aspect details, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of any aspect or of what may be claimed, but rather as descriptions of features that may be specific to particular aspects of particular inventions. Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate aspects may also be implemented in combination in a single aspect. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single aspect may also be implemented in multiple aspects separately or in any suitable sub-combination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination may in some cases be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination may be directed to a sub-combination or variation of a sub-combination.


Similarly, while operations are described in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order described or in sequential order, or that all described operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the aspects described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all aspects, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems may generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.


Many modifications and other aspects will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the specific aspects disclosed and that modifications and other aspects are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
