The debrief
The Receipt
This is what Deon Corp got out of you in this browser tab. The money is pretend. The clicks were yours. All of it was counted in your browser, and none of it has been sent anywhere.
How to read this
Every line above comes from something a page did to you or something you clicked. Three labels are used:
- Got you The pattern got the result it was built for. That is what it is designed to do; it says nothing about you.
- Dodged You got past it. Note how much attention that took.
- Free choice You chose with Fair mode on, where both options were equally easy.
Each line links to the entry in About that explains the pattern and names the research and guidance that cover it. General information, not legal advice.
The path, if you want to walk it
- Home: get past the cookie sheet and the pop-up.
- The Mug: pick a size and add it to the cart.
- Cart: try to buy the mug and nothing else.
- Checkout: watch the total, read the checkbox twice, read the small print.
- Deon+: start the FREE* trial, or notice that you already have.
- Cancel: leave. Count the screens.
- Come back here. Then switch on Fair mode in the ribbon and walk it again.
If you are running a study
Deception in research needs a debrief. This page is the debrief: show it to every participant before they leave, and say plainly that nothing was bought, charged or shared. The same tallies are available to scripts as window.deon.outcome() on every page.
