About

ANCR WG - The work here continues the Consent Receipt work at the Kantara Initiative, which has been ongoing since 2013, in the Information and Sharing Work Group, later the Consent and Information Sharing WG, and now the ANCR WG.

The Consent Receipt v1.1 was published and then included as an Annex, in the ISO/IEC 29184 Online privacy notices and consent standard in 2020.

ISO/IEC 27560 Consent record information structure published August 2023 further incorporates the Consent Receipt. The current ANCR WG effort incorporates and extends this record.
