Abstract: Data processing systems and methods, according to various embodiments, are adapted for determining a categorization for each tracking tool that executes on a particular webpage based on a variety of criteria, such as the purpose of the tracking tool and its source script. The system may compare the characteristics of tracking tools on a webpage to a database of known tracking tools to determine the appropriate categorization. When a user visits the webpage, the system analyzes these categories and determines whether the tracking tool should be permitted to run based on the categories and/or other criteria, such as whether the user has consented to the use of that type of tracking tool.

Abstract: A method used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises forming memory blocks individually comprising a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers. Channel-material strings extend through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers. Horizontally-elongated trenches are between immediately-laterally-adjacent of the memory blocks. Conductor material is in and extends elevationally along sidewalls of the trenches laterally-over the conductive tiers and the insulative tiers and directly electrically couples together conducting material of individual of the conductive tiers. The conductor material is exposed to oxidizing conditions to form an insulative oxide laterally-through the conductor material laterally-over individual of the insulative tiers to separate the conducting material of the individual conductive tiers from being directly electrically coupled together by the conductor material. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

A staircased stadium within the stack comprises steps at different tier elevations of a group of the tiers. Treads of the steps are each provided by an upper surface area of one of the conductive structures within the group of the tiers and by an upper surface area of a metal oxide region extending through the one of the conductive structures. A pair of conductive contact structures extends to one of the steps. A first conductive contact structure of the pair terminates at the tread of the step, within the area of the conductive structure. A second conductive contact structure of the pair extends through the tread of the step, within the upper surface area of the metal oxide region. Related fabrication methods and electronic systems are also disclosed.

A masking structure overlies the stack structure and has a different material composition than each of the conductive material and the insulative material. Filled slot structures are interposed between the blocks of the stack structure, at least one of the filled slot structures comprises at least one fill material that has an uppermost boundary vertically underlying an uppermost boundary of the masking structure.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media to implement a heterogenous biometric authentication process in a control system. For example, a method may include detecting the presence of a first person at a first time period and in an area associated with a function controlled by a control system. The method may include transmitting an authentication request to a first device detected by the control system, and receiving an authentication response from the first device. The authentication response includes information related to a biometric authentication performed at the first device. The method may further include authenticating the first person in the control system based on the information related to the biometric authentication. The method may then perform the function based on the authentication.
