PROFILE
David Fielding
Over four months, contributed to arXiv/arxiv-browse by developing privacy-focused user consent features for research data collection. Built opt-in and opt-out flows using JavaScript and HTML, implementing cookie-based state management and unique ID generation to support privacy-preserving analytics. Enhanced the user interface with banners, modals, and templates, centralizing consent logic for maintainability and compliance. Improved privacy messaging and gated data collection displays to align with regulatory requirements while preserving user experience. Leveraged skills in front end development, DOM manipulation, and cookie management, using technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to deliver robust, user-centric privacy solutions.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for arXiv/arxiv-browse focusing on privacy UX improvement. Implemented opt-in gated display of data collection on cookies.html; data collection content now shown only when the user opts in (optin = true). Commit a24ee08511852c0fbfaeac553d5367181226123f. This change reduces disclosure risk, aligns with privacy requirements, and preserves existing UX for non-consenting users.
