S16 Ep 11Discovering Dark Patterns on the Web and How To Stay Compliant Around Them!

In this week’s podcast episode, Gemma Boore, a Senior Associate at Harris Hagan, discusses dark patterns and their impact on consumer decisions. Dark patterns refer to the design and structure of websites that encourage users to make certain choices, often not in their best interests.

The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) have published a joint position paper on harmful designing in digital markets, highlighting the potential harm caused by dark patterns. The ICO has also written to top websites in the UK, urging them to change their practices. It is important for marketers to be aware of these issues and take steps to ensure compliance.Listen to find out more about:The use of dark patterns can breach consumer protection, data protection, and competition laws.
