Robin de Wouters: non-deprecated cookies, legitimate interest and small businesses

Earlier this summer, Google announced that its Chrome browser would after all keep third party cookies. This interview with Robin de Wouters is the first of two episodes exploring the consequences of that update from the point of view of our usual stakeholders (DPOs, CMOs, CDOs).  Robin de Wouters is the Director General for the Federation of European Data & Marketing (FEDMA), in Brussels. He has a strong background in communication and public relations across the private, non-profit and institutional spheres. He previously worked in the field of human rights with Euromed Rights, the ONE Campaign and the United Nations. Robin is also the Vice-Chair of the Board of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) and the Communications Director and Spokesperson for Democrats Abroad Belgium, the international arm of the US Democratic Party.
