IAB Europe / EASA meet Article 29 Working Party delegation to present pan-European self-regulation to enhance transparency & consumer control over Online Behavioural Advertising
On 14 September in The Hague (NL), a delegation from IAB Europe and the European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA) met the Article 29 Working Party chairman, Jakob Kohnstamm and some representatives from the Article 29 Working Party, (Peter Hustinx, European Data Protection Supervisor, Rafael Garcia Gozalo, Head of the International Department of the Spanish Data Protection Agency and other colleagues). The constructive meeting was the first opportunity that IAB Europe and EASA had to meet and exchange views on the industry self-regulatory regime for Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA). For further information see: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/goodpractice.html.

While the transposition of the revised ePrivacy Directive is ongoing at EU Member State level, industry is advancing its self-regulatory regime that aims to enhance transparency and choice for consumers. At the heart of the initiative is a commitment to place a small and easily-recognisable symbol or icon in display advertisements on websites. With one click, this will allow consumers to find out more information and exert greater control over behavioural advertising, including via a pan-European website, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu. This is being made available in many different European languages. The initiative offers consumers and businesses a harmonised approach across Europe to safeguard privacy.
