NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The state of data will be significantly impacted by new state privacy laws coming into effect in 2023 and legislation that may be enacted in other states in the near future. Given the current trajectory of state-level privacy legislation, and federal legislation now being debated in Congress, managing these different legal standards will be challenging.

Key Points: 
  • "The industry is already operating with significantly less signal given the changes by Apple, Firefox, and others.
  • We need addressability and measurement solutions that are privacy-by-design and fully compliant with state, Federal, and international standards."
  • Creating consistent measures and protocols that work inside their companies and with external partners has become a major issue.
  • But there is a significant trade-off: failing to leverage data that is fully permitted in certain states means lost opportunities.
