Husch Blackwell's Shelby Dolen, CIPP/US, sheds light on the growing complexity of U.S. state privacy laws and their impact on businesses. As Colorado's Privacy Act kicks into full gear with universal opt-out mechanisms (UOOMs) in effect, companies are grappling with adapting to varying state and international privacy laws. Shelby said while the UOOMs may benefit consumers with reduced targeted advertising and website tracking, businesses could struggle to adapt to a variety of U.S. state and international privacy laws. She noted some companies are relying on cookie management providers and vendors to recognize the GPC signal. "Although clients are using these cookie management tools, it kind of comes with not only needing to recognize the signal … but also staying up to date with all the other issues going on within the space," Shelby said.
