Hello all, and happy Thursday!
As you may or may not know, today is American Thanksgiving! Since most of the Osano team is based out of the U.S., our offices are closed today and tomorrow (the 23rd and 24th, respectively).
Thus, this week’s newsletter is a little light as well. That being said, a few data privacy stories have come up on our radar (especially the departure of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner!)
Why not take a look through before the tryptophan from all that turkey puts you to sleep?
Happy Holidays!

Helen Dixon, the head of Ireland’s Data Protection Commission for the last 9 years, announced that she'll be stepping down from the role in Feb. 2024.

Under the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), businesses must accept opt-out signals from certain universal opt-out mechanisms. To enable compliance, the Colorado Attorney General must develop a list of acceptable universal opt-out mechanisms before January 1st. Now, the Colorado Department of Law has released a shortlist of universal opt-out mechanisms that may make it to the final list.
