Privacy.Minded. - U.S. Companies Should Think Twice Before Inflicting A Cookie Banner On Their Website Visitors

Travis Brennan and Mayant Luk authored the alert under Stradling’s Privacy. Minded. banner, "U.S. Companies Should Think Twice Before Inflicting A Cookie Banner On Their Website Visitors."

• Europe’s “Cookie Law” is primarily responsible for the cookie banner blight afflicting everyone’s web surfing.

• Even if a U.S. business is subject to Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it’s not necessarily subject to the Cookie Law.

• The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) doesn’t expressly require a cookie banner, but it does require a notice “at or before” collection of “personal information,” which may include “cookies” and “internet or electronic network activity.”
