What the Digital Markets Act (DMA) Means for Google Advertisers
In November 2023 the European Commission announced that Google has been ‘designated as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act (DMA)’ – a comprehensive regulatory framework to protect consumers and ensure fair competition amongst key digital players (Meta, Amazon, Google etc.). This impacts all users and Google advertisers in the European Economic Area (EEA) – (please note that this does not include the UK). Additionally, in line with their privacy commitments, Google has since announced that they are expanding the scope of their EU User Consent Policy to apply to users in Switzerland.
