In the News 

Compliance Institute continues to receive media coverage, the latest commentary is on our members survey, ‘Google Chrome - phase out of third-party cookies'.

Google’s third-party cookie ban on Chrome was expected to come into effect this year but was pushed back to 2023 after a mixed response to its alternative proposals. The ban was seen as a win for the privacy conscious, but concerns were raised about how it would impact the ad industry.

 

32% of firms in Ireland say they are “not prepared at all” for a future which will preclude them from using 3rd party cookies.

Compliance Institute welcomes all graduates of the Diploma in Fintech, Risk & Compliance to take up our new designation Certified Fintech Risk & Compliance Professional (CFRCP).

Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) Survey  

Ipsos is conducting an online survey on behalf of CCPC. The survey is addressed to Irish businesses offering goods or services to consumers through digital platforms (e.g. online marketplaces; app stores; social media; search engines).

EU Regulation 2019/1150 aims to improve fairness and transparency in P2B relationships, granting certain rights to businesses who use digital platforms to conduct Business-to-Consumer (B2C/retail) transactions.

The survey is anonymous and takes 5-10 minutes to complete. The CCPC is encouraging business representatives and trade associations to circulate the survey to relevant businesses. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
