What problem does it solve?
Web applications frequently implement poor privacy practices that lead to user data breaches, regulatory non-compliance, and eroded user trust from excessive data collection, unvetted third-party tracking, and legacy cookie reliance.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Privacy by Design & Data Minimization: Actionable guidance to collect only necessary user data, reduce digital footprint, and provide transparent inline data usage explanations for users.
- Third-Party & Cookie Mitigations: Steps to audit external scripts, implement CHIPS and Storage Access API for cookie deprecation readiness, and block unauthorized cross-origin requests using fetch metadata headers.
- Modern Privacy API Integration: Instructions for implementing FedCM for privacy-preserving identity federation, feature detection instead of user-agent sniffing, and granular Permissions API usage to avoid intrusive native prompts.
- Use Case: A developer building an e-commerce site with third-party payment embeds and user accounts can use this skill to implement compliant cookie handling, replace tracking SDKs with static hyperlinks, and add FedCM sign-in to reduce cross-site user tracking.
Quick Start
Use the privacy skill to audit your web app's third-party scripts and implement compliant cookie and data collection practices.
