About the Talk<\/h2>\n

What does the Digital Services Act (DSA) mean for online advertising? This presentation analyses the DSA rules that are most relevant for online advertising and adtech (advertising technology). The DSA introduces several specific requirements for online advertising. First, the DSA imposes transparency requirements for advertising. Second, very large online platforms (VLOPs) should develop a repository with information about the ads they presented. Third, the DSA bans profiling-based advertising if it uses sensitive data or if it targets children. The general rules of the DSA on illegal content also apply to advertising. <\/span>Moreover, we conclude that some types of ad tech companies should be considered platforms. For example, ad networks, companies that connect advertisers to publishers of apps and websites, should be considered platforms. Hence, ad networks must comply with the more general obligations in the DSA.<\/p>\n
