The EU’s ePrivacy Regulation, like the EU GDPR, has been highly anticipated since it was first proposed in 2017. What are the current developments and next steps in the process to enactment? What are some of the complicating factors of the proposed Regulation? Are there major differences between the initial proposal and where the text is now? Who will be impacted when the Regulation will be enacted, and what about the implications of Brexit?

These, and other questions, are answered by Dan Cooper and Kristof Van Quathem in Episode 11 of Covington’s Inside Privacy Audiocast.
