I bring a unique blend of deep technical understanding and commercial pragmatism to the rapidly evolving digital landscape. As a Partner in Bird & Bird's Commercial and Data teams and Global Head of Media, I guide clients through the complex interplay of technology, regulation, and business strategy in the advertising, media, and entertainment sectors.

The United States currently does not have a standalone law governing the use of cookies on the federal level. However, in recent years, several states have adopted their own privacy frameworks, with at least five of these (California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah) in effect or expected to be in effect by the end of 2023. Policymakers in Iowa, Indiana, Montana, and Tennessee have likewise passed similar legislation that will enter into force in upcoming years.

In this new US supplement of the Bird & Bird Global Cookie Review, we explore some of the key requirements in U.S. state privacy laws with respect to the use of cookies and outline important considerations for organisations as they adjust to these new rules. As new laws follow, both across new states and if a federal law is ever actually realised, we will update this supplement accordingly.
