Abstract:

Nowadays, the internet and World Wide Web have become essential tools for everyday activities. Along with the increase in the number of Internet users, the dangers to privacy have also increased. This work aims to understand how the scenario has evolved in recent years, providing an indication of the privacy risk a user faces when visiting a website. We also want to assess the impact of "cookie bars" on the tracking ecosystem and how user consent changes the presence of trackers on the web.
