Adtech is built on personal data
But growing consumer demands and continually evolving regulations must be effectively managed to reach your optimal audience via the right channels, at the right time.
Adtech & your business
We have the insights and experience to help you manage privacy risks and optimize results
Electronic media presents advertisers with expansive opportunities to reach potential customers with targeted digital ads. While the adtech industry has experienced explosive and mostly unfettered growth over recent decades, the landscape of digital advertising is changing. Consumers are much more aware of being “tracked” online, and regulators have responded with new laws in the US, Europe and other regions that can make getting ads seen by the right audience while maintaining compliance with complex and sometimes conflicting laws, quite a challenge. Regardless of your business, the current environment demands innovative adaptation of privacy-centric approaches to advertising technology.

New Digital Advertising Regulations in the EU:
What Marketers Should Know
More Info
The European Union is recognized as a leading tech regulator, advancing comprehensive laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for consumer privacy, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to regulate major tech platforms, and the Digital Services Act (DSA) to curb misinformation and restrict targeted advertising based on sensitive data. Effective from 2023, the DSA imposes strict rules on large platforms to enhance transparency and user safety, while the DMA, beginning in September 2023, designates firms like Alphabet and Apple as “gatekeepers” needing compliance by March 2024. The EU’s rigorous enforcement, highlighted by a $1.3 billion fine on Meta for privacy breaches, underscores its strict stance on privacy and market competition.
Determine if a Tracking Technology
is a “Sale” or “Share”
More Info
As state privacy regulations become more stringent, organizations are increasingly held accountable for both the personal information they collect directly and that which third parties collect from their digital properties. This heightened scrutiny especially affects digital properties and their associated tracking technologies. To comply, organizations must undertake substantial ongoing efforts to identify and evaluate tracking technologies, discern whether these constitute a “sale” or “share” for targeted advertising, and implement solutions that respect consumer opt-out preferences.
New Digital Advertising Regulations in the US:
The Changing Landscape
More Info
In the United States, state-level initiatives lead data privacy regulation. Significant laws were implemented in several states in 2023, with more expected in 2024, including Texas, Oregon, and Montana. The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), enhancing the earlier CCPA, sets a robust example by establishing a dedicated enforcement agency and extending consumer rights to opt out of data sharing for advertising. Federally, progress is slower, yet a bill introduced by Senator Mike Lee seeks to transform digital advertising by restricting the control of major tech companies and increasing transparency, reflecting a growing demand for clearer industry practices.
