useragent service A Simple P3P Conversation User agent: Get index.html Service: Here is my P3P proposal - I collect click-stream data and computer information for web site and system administration and customization of site User agent: OK, I accept your proposal Service: Here is index.html
More Complicated Conversations • Service offers choice of proposals • User agent makes counter proposal • User agent rejects proposal and asks service for another offer • Upon agreement, user agent automatically sends requested data • No agreement is reached
