As cookies continue to play a fundamental role in online tracking and data collection, understanding their intricacies and potential implications is crucial. It is vital for GDPR and privacy professionals to navigate this dynamic environment effectively, ensuring that organizations uphold privacy standards while leveraging cookies in a compliant manner.
Following a brief introduction of the legal framework governing cookies, namely, ePrivacy, GDPR and relevant ECJ as well as other current decisions, we will dive straight into the nitty-gritty. We will have a tech deep dive into online marketing analytics and cookie-technology in general, different types of website/app tracking and CMP design, finishing off with the most problematic (yet) common practices, such as real-time-bidding and dark patterns.
After introducing the technology behind the problem, we will examine what (lawful) options stand at the (desperate) advertiser’s/publisher’s disposal. In this context we will briefly analyze (informed) consent requirements for placing cookies in the first place. We will address legal exceptions to the necessity of consent and finally propose some alternatives that may lead to a reduction and consequently abolishment of the use of cookies and similar identifiers.
Key discussion points:
- Starting from the bottom: ePrivacy vs GDPR
- One small step for the user, one giant leap for the future of internet: jurisprudence and further developments
- Handling the basics: deep dive into the world of online marketing, real-time bidding, and dark patterns
- Into the cookieless future: Synthetic users, Data Clean Rooms, Tracking – proxies, on device ML based user segmentation via Anonymized etc.
