Great events I’ll have the pleasure of speaking at in May: 1?? First, an IAPP web conference on adtech where I will be speaking alongside Dr. Sachiko Scheuing (with Joe Jones as moderator). “Adtech: Practical takeaways from recent EU developments”, on 7 May 2024 (4-5pm CET; 10-11am Eastern US). Organised by the IAPP – International […]
Time to talk about what can be done to improve the “cookie” rule! In Part I of this series on the opportunities and difficulties of today’s ePrivacy regime, I discussed the underappreciated and seemingly-easy-but-really-complex world of the anti-spam rule, Article 13 of the ePrivacy Directive (or ePD). This Part II is about a provision that […]
Now that the Commission has withdrawn its proposal for an ePrivacy Regulation, where does that leave the ePrivacy Directive and the issues organisations face? Over the past 7-8 years, a lot has been said about the proposed ePrivacy Regulation. Intended as both a modernisation of the ePrivacy Directive and a manner of getting to (more) […]

What a week! So what’s next? After 3 speaker slots at CPDP2024 (featuring some of the most heated exchanges of the entire conference), one webinar, and loads of really good discussions on the biggest data protection topics (“Pay or OK”, “Advertising, data protection and AI”, “balancing of fundamental rights: protection of personal data vs/with freedom […]
Out of the blue, I just received an invitation to apply for a job as Tax legal advisor. Contrary to their belief (hopefully not yours), I have developed a different kind of expertise (maybe I should offer my services to help them improve their understanding of their data). If, unlike them, you think I might […]
Illustration: Dall-E rendering of just how potentially evil the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and certain privacy rights campaigners view the “Pay or Consent” approach + large companies.
