One of our own is helping shape the conversation. Alan Friel, Partner, and contributing author to our blog, will serve as a featured speaker in an upcoming live CLE webinar tackling one of the most rapidly developing areas of digital privacy regulatory enforcement and litigation.

In the first hour of the webinar, “Cookie Banner Wiretapping Litigation and Consent Management Platform Failures: CIPA, FSCA, and ECPA Claims Against Malfunctioning and Misleading CMPs in 2026,” will cover the core legal and technical issues driving an explosion in online tracking technology privacy litigation, and discuss the overlap with, but differences from, state consumer privacy law compliance and enforcement. Topics will include an explanation of how web, mobile and other online tracking technologies work, the applicable legal regimes and theories that need to be considered, ways that use of cookie banners and CMPs can either create or reduce risk, privacy policy and notice and terms of use (including arbitration and class‑waiver) drafting strategies, and the growing significance of Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals, as well how these differ from industry self-regulatory signals and opt-outs and browser “Do Not Track” signals, and the issues with, and limitations of, each.  It will wrap up with practical take aways and an overview of legislative efforts to watch that could change the landscape.  The second hour will be a deep dive into the litigation, including learnings from key court decisions.
