Bilateral consent management using IEEE 7012 allows users to propose their own machine-readable terms to websites, replacing unilateral take-it-or-leave-it scenarios with a negotiated agreement.

You can enforce user-defined privacy terms by integrating the Swordsman browser agent, which automatically presents your MyTerms to websites, negotiates acceptance, and blocks access if the site rejects your conditions.

Verifiable Credentials (VRCs) are used in consent negotiation to log the accepted terms as machine-readable proof, ensuring that the bilateral agreement between the user and the website is cryptographically verifiable.

Yes, implementing bilateral consent infrastructure requires an understanding of Promise Theory, VRCs, and browser agent architecture to correctly establish and enforce user-centric terms via the Customer Commons framework.

The Customer Commons framework supports cookie sovereignty by providing a library of standardized, user-centric consent terms that empower users to control website cookie usage based on their explicit preferences rather than site defaults.

If a website rejects your machine-readable consent terms, the Swordsman browser agent will attempt to negotiate an agreement, and if that fails, it will block access to protect your data according to your defined terms.
