Latest News and Trends
1. The NIS2 Directive Takes Effect in the EU
October 17th marked a significant shift for companies operating within the EU, as the updated Network and Information Security (NIS2) Directive went into effect. This directive introduces stricter reporting rules for cyber incidents, requiring companies to report breaches within 24 hours. It also enhances cooperation between national authorities and strengthens the protection of critical infrastructure. For businesses managing large website portfolios, staying compliant with these regulations is crucial to avoid penalties and protect sensitive data.
2. AI and Privacy Compliance
The rapid adoption of AI brings new challenges to privacy compliance, especially as organizations use data to train AI models. Legislators are paying closer attention to how both first-party and third-party data is utilized, especially in terms of privacy. With the upcoming EU AI Act, companies need to be diligent about aligning AI data use with privacy laws.
3. Shifting from Browser-Side to Server-Side Tagging for Better Privacy
With privacy laws becoming stricter, many companies are moving towards server-side tagging to manage their website data more securely. Unlike browser-side tagging (or client-side), server-side tagging allows tags to run on the server, reducing the risk of exposing user data and giving companies greater control over what’s shared with third-party services.
By adopting server-side tagging, you can better protect customer data, ensure compliance with laws like GDPR, and overcome challenges posed by ad blockers. Plus, it helps improve the accuracy of your data since it’s less affected by user settings.
