Is GDPR Consent A Website Killer? It Doesn’t Have To Be!

Is GDPR Consent A Website Killer? It Doesn’t Have To Be!

Your current Cookie Notice isn’t going to work as of May 25th, 2018. Changing it doesn’t have to be a crisis. I can see it coming. Sometime in the next 6 months, if you are on the team that makes your site work (Web Operations, Content Management or eCommerce), you are called into a meeting with the CIO, the CISO and the Chief Privacy Officer (or your head lawyer who deals with privacy). There will be a lot of ashen-faced people. The meeting with start with one of them saying:

“So listen, we have to change how our sites and apps work. We now have to change how tracking scripts fire and when cookies are dropped on our users. We will have to get consent before we start tracking users and/or building profiles. And it has to be done right away. Otherwise we will be exposed to fines of at least €20 million and up to 4% of global revenue.”

How do you keep this self-inflicted crisis from actually happening? Read more over at the Evidon blog: https://bit.ly/2u00a1r

Excellent piece and Mel Brooks/Gene Wilder reference! It's not a matter of when but an effort of how. Do we go the line-item route or create buckets of activities that will require opt-in. Let the derogation negotiations begin.
