Agenda

Although new regulations in the European Union governing the use of cookies started coming into effect in May, there is still substantial uncertainty about what the new rules require and what practical steps can be taken to comply with them. This webinar will provide an overview of the new rules, a status update on their implementation in national European law and practical strategies for achieving compliance. A special focus will be the impact of the new rules on online marketing.

Among other things, attendees will learn answers to the following questions:

• At a practical level, what do the new rules mean for businesses with an active online presence?

• What steps are companies taking to meet the new requirements?

• What is the likely impact of the new rules on U.S.-based companies?

• How are the requirements likely to evolve over time?

Who should attend and why?

• In-house lawyers and privacy professionals for organizations with sales and marketing activities in Europe

• Lawyers or business executives active in the digital advertising industry
