There is still time to register for the webinar on Researching Discrimination in E-Commerce and Online Advertising

Deadline for registration: 3 March. The webinar is going go be held on 4-5 March 2021. 

Would you like to learn whether the existing rules on consumer protection and non-discrimination fit for dealing with the potential harm created by the increased use of targeted advertising and personalisation in e-commerce? Can technology assist consumer authorities to detect targeting and personalisation practices that infringe existing rules, and/or assist policy makers in the field of consumer law to amend consumer protection and non-discrimination to this new reality? 

Don't miss out on the opportunity to learn more about discrimination in e-commerce and online advertising! The two-day webinar will address these issues with the main focus of the discussions being on the EU, and, in order to facilitate trans-continental comparison, some attention will be given to the state of affairs of the US and China on the matter.
