Is there standard file names for Terms of Use / Privacy Policy?

Question

Are there standard file names for Terms of Use and Privacy Policies?

For some reason, I remember that Internet Explorer and possibly other browsers used to look for them on the current website, and display a little warning icon...

Answer 1

Are you looking for P3P?

The privacy policy can be retrieved as an XML file or can be included, in compact form, in the HTTP header. The location of the XML policy file that applies to a given document can be:

1. specified in the HTTP header of the document
2. specified in the HTML head of the document
3. if none of the above is specified, the well-known location /w3c/p3p.xml is used (for a similar location compare /favicon.ico)
