Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Today, online businesses often offer personalized services to consumers. Personalization not only gives consumers better experience, but also helps increase businesses profitability. However, there are some drawbacks that come with it. This article aims to provide basic knowledge of web personalization and its impacts. There are four parts presented in the article as follows: 1) basic knowledge of personalization, from consumer data collection to how data is used in various types of recommender systems; 2), give examples of how personalization is used – that is, in advertising, user engagement, and product recommendation; 3) discuss the impacts of personalization on consumers and society – consumer privacy concerns and a decrease in content diversity; and 4) recommendations to stakeholders – businesses, consumers, and government agencies.
