Google recently announced it will be implementing a new user consent policy. Essentially, this new policy requires all websites serving EU visitors, including those not based in the European Union, to comply with the EU Cookie Directive.

The EU Cookie Directive has led to a concerted effort by regulators to set common standards for data privacy. But as anyone doing business in the European Union knows, there are still markedly different approaches to compliance and consumer attitudes in key EU markets. These differences make compliance seem onerous and complex, but this is an issue that businesses can no longer afford to ignore as the drumbeat of European enforcement has started.
