At FairPatterns, we help companies break the cycle—removing dark patterns, ensuring ethical pricing, and restoring trust in digital experiences.

From visual imbalance to coercive phrasing, dark UX is no longer just a bad practice—it’s a legal liability. At FairPatterns, our AI-powered Cookie Consent Scanner audits real banners in real time, detecting design bias, hidden cookies, and compliance risks.
