The General Data Protection Regulation is in effect since the 25th of May 2018. Later this year (2019) the ePrivacy act will be in play as well. These two regulations are meant to guarantee and protect the personal data privacy of EU citizens.

Among other things this legislation means that website owners need to be fully aware of the cookies and third party tracking technology used on their website.

Since May last year, we have all been familiar with the European GDPR legislation. But also in the US people are getting ready for privacy protection laws. In 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will become effective, a bill that protects the privacy rights of consumers in the US state. CCPA and GDPR not only have a sounding abbreviation in common, both laws are extraterritorial and, in other words, also valid outside their own territory. (E-mail) marketers should therefore be better prepared for the arrival of CCPA. We have ten simple tips and advice about cookie consent management which will help you on your way with CCPA Compliance.

Most of the websites need a cookie banner and policy. In short if you use any of the following your website probably needs a compliant cookie banner and policy:

• Social media buttons
• Youtube videos or other third party video embeds
• Remarketing
• Goal tracking in Adwords, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others
• Advertising
• A/B Testing for marketing purposes.

The GDPR applies not only to EU websites but to all organisations websites who serve users from the EU or monitor the behaviour of EU data subjects. So whatever the location of your business, if your website processes data from subjects residing in the European Union you’ll have to comply with the GDPR regulation.

Effective September 22, 2023, Quebec’s privacy landscape is set for a transformative shift with the enactment of the second set of amendments from Law 25. Of these new changes, one stands out markedly: the mandatory implementation of cookie banners. Any organization operating within Quebec must now transparently disclose their use of technologies like non-essential cookies that identify, locate, or profile users. The emphasis is on clear user consent, necessitating that cookie consent tools be set up, ensuring tracking technologies are inactive by default. In essence, user privacy is paramount, and organizations are urged to adapt promptly. Given the steep penalties for non-compliance, including potential fines amounting to millions, the significance of these changes—especially the importance of cookie banners—cannot be overstated.
