Privacy Regulations and Their Impact on Your Marketing Data

In the last 5 years there’s been legislation in Europe and the United States protecting your personal data, and some large browsers no longer accept third-party tracking cookies. These laws and policies restrict the type of data collected; as digital marketers we have less information to analyze and inform our work.

But if you’re a Google Chrome user, you’ve no doubt seen those annoying pop ups asking you to accept cookies when you land on a site. That’s because Chrome, the number 1 browser in the United States, is tracking and profiling users with no defined end in sight. After all, the data is their source of revenue.

So what’s a digital marketer to do, especially as more data privacy laws go into effect in the United States?

It’s time to accept the fact that you can’t rely solely on third-party data anymore. Shifting your focus to collecting first-party data will help with compliance and build trust with your customers. An added benefit: you can use your better understanding of your customers to improve the user experience
