Figure 5.1.: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 privacy settings<br />

At the time of writing, Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer<br />

version 8.0 has been released. However, no detailed information on any changes regarding<br />

P3P could be found nor does MSIE 8.0 handle P3P enabled website differently although<br />

this behaviour might change in future releases.<br />

However, there is a plugin called “Privacy Bird” for MSIE 5.01-6.0 available which adds<br />

P3P support to the browser. The software was originally developed by AT&T and was<br />

then further developed by Carnegie Mellon University. Unfortunately, there has not been<br />

an update to Privacy Bird in the last few years so the software is out of date and cannot<br />

be used with current versions of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer anymore. Furthermore,<br />

it does not work unless the users has administrator rights and the last operating system<br />

supported was Windows XP. The authors made the source code available at their website<br />

but until yet, no other software has been developed based on Privacy Bird.<br />
