Abstract [en]

Cookies on the internet have been around for a long time and havebecome increasingly visible due to consent banners in connectionwith GDPR. European websites now require visitors to acceptcookies due to the change in the law for them to be used. Previousresearch in this area tends to use a quantitative approach,examining users' preferred placements, sizes, and managementstrategies in relation to consent banners. The purpose of this studywas to investigate how consent banners are perceived by websitevisitors on the web and what motivates them to make informedchoices. The study applied self-determination theory and alongwith a qualitative approach and an inductive thematic analysis.The empirical data was based on seven semi-structured interviewsconducted using the Teams and Zoom tools. The results revealedshortcomings in consent banners that led to visitors' lack ofmotivation to interact with them. Respondents described a feelingof fatigue in having to deal with the consent banner every timethey visited a website. This fatigue, along with insufficientknowledge, inadequate information, and poor graphic design,decreased their motivation to engage with the consent banners.The study concludes that clearer information and moreinteractivity are needed in consent banners to increase userinteraction and understanding. It is suggested that visitors shouldbe motivated to interact with consent banners through sliders orcheckboxes before they can accept them. Further research in thisarea should focus more on how information in the banners can bepresented to increase visitors' understanding of what they areaccepting.

Abstract [sv]

Webbkakor på internet har funnits under en längre tid och har isamband med GDPR blivit alltmer synliga på grund avsamtyckesbanderoller. Europeiska webbsidor kräver på grund avlagändringen att webbkakor accepteras av besökare för att de skafå lov att användas. Tidigare forskning inom området tenderar attanvända ett kvantitativt angreppssätt och undersöker besökaresföredragna placeringar, storlekar och hanteringsstrategier i relationtill samtyckesbanderoller. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hurwebbplatsbesökare uppfattar samtyckesbanderoller samt vad sommotiverar webbplatsbesökare till att göra ett informerat val.Studiens tillämpade självbestämmandeteorin tillsammans med enkvalitativ ansats och en induktiv tematisk analys. Empiriska databaserades på sju semistrukturerade intervjuer som genomfördesvia verktygen Teams och Zoom. Resultatet upptäckte brister isamtyckesbanderoller som ledde till besökarnas avsaknad avmotivation att interagera med dem. Respondenterna beskrev enkänsla av trötthet över att behöva hantera samtyckesbanderollenvarje gång de besökte en webbplats. Denna trötthet, tillsammansmed bristfällig kunskap, otillräcklig information samt dålig grafiskutformning, minskade deras motivation att engagera sig medsamtyckesbanderollerna. Studiens slutsats är att det behövstydligare information och mer interaktivitet isamtyckesbanderollerna för att öka besökarens interaktion ochförståelse. Det föreslås att besökarna ska motiveras att interageramed samtyckesbanderollerna genom sliders eller checkrutor innande kan acceptera dem. Vidare forskning inom området börfokusera mer på hur information i samtyckesbanderollerna kanpresenteras för att öka förståelsen bland besökare för vad deaccepterar
