Impactful Policy Frameworks
CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) Expansion (CPRA) 2023
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which went into full effect on January 1, 2023, strengthens the CCPA by expanding consumer rights regarding personal information and establishing the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) for enforcement.
This policy increases compliance burdens for agencies handling California consumer data, necessitating robust data privacy practices and transparent data handling, especially for target audience of SMBs and non-profits that collect customer data.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides Update 2023
The FTC updated its Endorsement Guides in June 2023, clarifying rules around influencer marketing, disclosure requirements, and consumer reviews, including what constitutes a 'material connection' and penalties for non-compliance.
This impacts Lemon Wedge Digital's branding and organic marketing services, requiring strict adherence to disclosure rules for influencer campaigns and reviews to avoid legal repercussions and maintain client trust.
Google's Third-Party Cookie Deprecation (Postponed to 2025)
While not a government policy, Google's plan to phase out third-party cookies in Chrome, now pushed to 2025, significantly impacts digital advertising by limiting cross-site tracking and targeted advertising methods.
This mandates that Lemon Wedge Digital must pivot their paid advertising and data strategy to rely on first-party data, contextual advertising, and privacy-preserving alternatives to maintain effective campaign performance for their clients.
