GDPR is a Europe-wide privacy regulation focused on data protection and broad individual rights across the EU; CCPA is a U.S. state-level law (California) that provides California residents rights around access, deletion, and opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information. Both impose compliance obligations on businesses, but differ in scope, definitions, and enforcement mechanisms.
How are browser changes from Google and Apple affecting privacy?
Major browser and platform changes (from companies like Google and Apple) are limiting cross-site tracking and third-party identifiers, which affects how advertisers and publishers collect and use data. These changes push the industry toward first-party data strategies, privacy-preserving measurement, and updated compliance practices.
What should publishers and advertisers do in response to evolving privacy laws?
Publishers and advertisers should review their data collection and processing flows, update privacy notices and consent mechanisms, adopt first-party and contextual targeting approaches, ensure contracts and vendor relationships reflect data protection obligations, and monitor new state-level laws and enforcement guidance.
