When it comes to the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation, 7 out of 10 marketers are in the dark. Maybe you’re one of them. Since the regulation came into force in 2018, anyone marketing to people within the EU needs to be fully GDPR compliant. This means making major changes to how you capture and process consumer data and how your consumers interact with your brand online through your website or your app.
Ignore GDPR and you run the risk of heavy fines and damage to your reputation. But you don’t need to face this alone. At WFA we’re working hard to give members the advice they need.

But the core components for effective and responsible advertising standards remain the same.
This toolkit makes the case for advertising self-regulation, identifying the core building blocks drawing on case studies from Brazil, India and the Philippines.

Created by the EVSG (European Viewability Steering Group - made up of WFA, EACA and IAB Europe), these principles are designed to ensure that harmonised best practice standards and guidelines are applied to the measurement and trading of viewable digital advertising across all markets in Europe (and beyond).

1. To raise minimum quality standards in digital advertising measurement for all stakeholders across Europe.
2. To measure digital ad exposure which is deemed a key step to increasing confidence in digital ad trading.
3. To enhance the (internet) user experience in the context of changing user expectations.
4. To improve confidence in the digital ad environment.
