Hello all, and happy Thursday!
A common theme we return to in this newsletter is that data privacy never stands still. That’s true for regulations, of course, but it’s also true for best practices and solutions.
Take consent management. For a long time, cookie consent was one of the main problems to solve for businesses. Cookie consent still matters, but it’s become more of a known quantity. Cookies, however, aren’t the only way to collect personal data (and when it comes to third-party cookies, it’s a method that’s slowly being phased out).
How do you manage consent in all places you collect personal data aside from cookies—whether that’s in-app, over the phone, via email, or anywhere else? The answer is universal consent.
If you’re curious about learning more, you’re in luck: the IAPP is hosting a webinar with Osano’s CPO Brian Herr and Anna Covert, the Principal of Covert Communication! We’ll cover the basics of universal consent and why it’s especially important to your colleagues in marketing during the webinar on March 26.
Best,
Arlo
