Transparency becomes enforceable when it is standard: the same record, read the same way, by the person, the organisation and the regulator. Here is where the work to standardise it is carried.

Where ITCoP stands: from CPDP Brussels to expert input
The Internet Transparency Code of Practice was introduced at CPDP in May 2026. Its requirements are now being shaped by expert input through the TCIEG survey.
Operational Transparency
Operational transparency: why the old privacy model fails
Privacy controls were built for a visible relationship. Digital systems now identify, infer and transfer before the individual knows who is accountable, so transparency has to move earlier.
Notice & Consent
REALconsent: consent that can be shown to have happened
A click recorded after someone has already been identified is a system permission, not evidence of an informed choice. REALconsent sets out what has to be in place for consent to be real, and provable later.
Notice & Consent
ANCR Release 1: what a notice receipt records

Identity
Co-regulated digital identification: eight tests you can check
Every online interaction runs under two rule sets at once. ANCR Release 1 turns the public one into records anyone can inspect, and sets eight conformance tests, each checked by looking at a record.
Notice & Consent
ISO/IEC TS 27560:2023: consent as structured evidence
The consent record information structure turns consent from a setting inside one application into evidence that can be kept, exchanged, compared and audited.
