Program Summary

Session I - Are you ready for It? What companies need to know to be prepared for the death of third party cookies – David Zetoony and Darren Abernethy

The most popular web browser has been threatening for years to turn off support for third party cookies – the technology that most websites use for behavioral advertising. That threat is now a reality. In January, support for third party cookies was turned off for 1% of website users—with the same result expected for all of the browser’s users by the end of 2024. Marketing departments are racing to find alternatives.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What is happening to third party cookies?
  • Alternatives that marketing departments are considering to replace revenue generated by cookies (server-side technologies, CRM-side technologies, Topics API, etc.)
  • Legal implications for each technology and, specifically, what in-house counsel and privacy professionals should be doing to coordinate with their marketing departments
  • Overview of recent cookie- and tracking-technology-related litigation trends, the application of cookies/trackers to new standards such as Washington State’s My Health My Data Act, and summarize options companies may consider in adjusting their compliance strategies

Session II - Four steps to check if online advertising follows privacy laws – Helena Engfeldt

Online businesses need to follow many different privacy and data protection laws, which can vary depending on the location. When it comes to targeted advertising, the rules can be quite complicated, especially about when and how customers can choose to receive or not receive these ads. We’ll look at how to follow these laws in the world of online advertising from four different perspectives.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What actions make it necessary for customers to either agree to (opt-in) or decline (opt-out) targeted advertising?
  • What actions are involved in an advertising campaign or technology?
  • Who in the online advertising world is responsible for making sure these opt-in and opt-out choices are followed?
  • What are the main risks companies should keep in mind?

Date / Time: May 23, 2024

  • 1:00 pm – 3:50 pm Eastern
  • 12:00 pm – 2:50 pm Central
  • 11:00 am – 1:50 pm Mountain
  • 10:00 am – 12:50 pm Pacific
