P3P stands for the Platform Privacy Preferences Project. P3P is an "emerging industry standard that enables web sites to express their privacy practices in a standardized format that can be automatically retrieved and interpreted by user agents" (W3C Platform for Privacy Preferences Initiatives).

OBS

P3P's goal is to help inform users, in a simple way, about the practices of web sites and to increase their trust and confidence in the Internet. The downside to P3P is that even though users are informed of the web sites practices before any personal information is released, it does not ensure that the web site will act according to their policies.
