Web Seminar: Dark Patterns - How Websites and Apps Want to Manipulate Us

Cookie banners, pop-ups for newsletters, countdowns when shopping online, or registration forms for a new account - on the Internet, we encounter company-friendly default settings and manipulative designs in many places that want to steer us unintentionally in a certain direction. These designs are known as dark patterns. The speaker, Dr. Julia Gerhards from the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Center, uses many examples to show where we encounter dark patterns in everyday life and gives tips on how to protect ourselves from them.

The web seminar "Dark Patterns - This is how websites and apps want to manipulate us" will take place on February 7, at 5 p.m. and will last about 60 minutes. Attendance is free and you can register using the registration link provided (link leaves VZ page).
