 | [[Privacy:Ads txt]] | The observable ad supply chain: ''ads.txt'' / ''app-ads.txt'', ''sellers.json'' and client-side header bidding as three views of who is authorised, who claims, and who actually bids to sell a site's inventory. Not cookie syncing. | | [[Privacy:Ads txt]] | The observable ad supply chain: ''ads.txt'' / ''app-ads.txt'', ''sellers.json'' and client-side header bidding as three views of who is authorised, who claims, and who actually bids to sell a site's inventory. Not cookie syncing. |
 +| [[Privacy:Policies]] | The policy, terms and store-declared privacy label as **text you collect and label**: where the document is, how much of the population has one at all, the annotated corpora that already exist, the tool lineage with its dates, and policy-versus-behaviour consistency as the actual measurement. Half of it is Android app policies. |
 +| [[Privacy:Age assurance]] | Age gates and age verification as deployed: the eight mechanisms the term spans, how you detect one at crawl time, why the denominator needs a jurisdiction, and the ethics questions this topic raises that [[Practices:Ethics]] does not answer. **Thin on purpose** — five papers in the corpus measure it. |
 +| [[Privacy:Data subject rights]] | Access, deletion and opt-out **requests** — the ones a person sends to a company — as a measurement instrument, plus the machine-readable opt-out signals (Global Privacy Control, "Do Not Sell") that are the scalable half. **Note the id**: [[Privacy:Requests]] on this wiki is //HTTP// requests. |
  
 [[Privacy:Privacy Sandbox]] is the odd one out: it is about platform features rather than about a thing on the page, and it is the page to read before you pin a browser version for a 2026 crawl. [[Privacy:Privacy Sandbox]] is the odd one out: it is about platform features rather than about a thing on the page, and it is the page to read before you pin a browser version for a 2026 crawl.

 [[Privacy:Email tracking]] is the one page here that usually needs no browser at all. It is in this namespace because it shares the //privacy axis// and the identifier — an email address or phone number is the cross-context key that survives everything third-party cookies do not — rather than because it shares the platform. It also carries the SMS, robocall and messaging-app literature, which is where this topic is currently most active. [[Privacy:Email tracking]] is the one page here that usually needs no browser at all.

 +
 +[[Privacy:Data subject rights]] is the only page here whose instrument is a **person** rather than a browser: the request is sent by a named, identifiable human being, so the median study asks **30** organisations where the median crawl visits 10,000 sites. It is also the page that owns the //opt-out// signals — GPC, the "Do Not Sell" link, the US Privacy and GPP strings — which puts its boundary with [[Privacy:Consent]] and [[Privacy:TCF consent strings]] on the page itself.
 +
 +[[Privacy:Age assurance]] is the newest and by far the thinnest, and the thinness is the point: of the 5,855 corpus papers with full text, **38** use any age-assurance phrase and **5** measure one. It is here rather than under ''design:'' because the gate is a thing on the page — an interstitial that sets state before any consent interaction, which makes it a confounder for [[Privacy:Consent]] and [[Privacy:Cookies]] as well as an object in its own right.
 +
 +[[Privacy:Policies]] is the only page here whose object is a //document// rather than a thing the browser did. It is the other half of a compliance claim: every page above tells you what a site did, and that page tells you what the site said it would do. Read it with [[Privacy:Consent]] — the banner and the policy are different measurements of the same disclosure, and the two literatures barely cite each other.
  
 [[Privacy:Requests]], [[Privacy:Cookies]], [[Privacy:Browser storage]], [[Privacy:JavaScript]] and [[Privacy:Fingerprinting]] are five views of the same page-load. Start with the one your method actually keys on; the other three are where it silently fails. Consent is upstream of all four: a crawl that never touched the banner measured the no-interaction condition, not the post-consent web. [[Privacy:Requests]], [[Privacy:Cookies]], [[Privacy:Browser storage]], [[Privacy:JavaScript]] and [[Privacy:Fingerprinting]] are five views of the same page-load.
