Tom Fox and Jonathan Armstrong, renowned experts in cyber security, co-host the award-winning Life with GDPR. In this episode, they discuss Cookie Compliance Under GDPR.
Their discussion highlights the increasing enforcement actions surrounding website cookies, emphasizing that this is a data protection issue and a broader compliance challenge. Specific case studies, such as the Dutch regulator’s fine against Pool Blue and fines in other EU countries, illustrate the significant financial penalties companies can face for non-compliance. Jonathan outlines an eight-point plan to help organizations ensure their cookie practices are current, including regular checks, proper configuration of cookie banners, and transparency about data retention periods.
The episode also touches on the role of third-party cookies, potential litigation, and regulatory actions. Compliance with cookie regulations is becoming increasingly important, with groups like NOYB driving many complaints and regulatory bodies across Europe ramping up enforcement efforts.

In this episode of the Great Women in Compliance podcast, Lisa speaks with Maria Lancri. Maria is a partner at Squair, based in Paris, and has experience both in law firms and in-house, spending 12 years at Hachette Livre—Hachette Books to English speakers like me. She is a member of the Steering Committee at Sorbonne D.U. Compliance & Ethique des Affaires. She is also a leading speaker about the EU and French compliance laws, doing so in various languages (and provides some tips on how she has been successful).
Maria provides information about the French anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including their history and current application. She provides timely information about the Sapin II framework in France as well as the current EU Landscape.
While the US laws often lead the global discussion about anti-corruption and anti-bribery, the EU has led in data privacy, ESG, and now AI, and some of the key issues over the next year that are relevant to global organizations.
Maria and Lisa discuss the cultural challenges that E&C professionals may encounter in a global practice and how to support ethical decision-making when you have a multi-cultural employee base.
