— Excerpt from Amplitude's Amplitude Privacy Notice

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the EU ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) and GDPR for EU/EEA visitors (requiring prior informed consent for non-essential cookies), the UK PECR for UK visitors, and CCPA/CPRA for California residents (opt-out of sale or sharing triggered by advertising cookie data). The FTC has also addressed tracking technology disclosures under its general unfair and deceptive practices authority. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. EU and UK law requires granular, prior consent for advertising and analytics cookies (with limited exceptions). The adequacy of Amplitude's cookie consent mechanism for EU/EEA and UK visitors should be verified, including whether consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. California's CPRA may treat advertising cookie data sharing as a sale or share, requiring a functional opt-out mechanism. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA and UK create the highest compliance exposure for cookie consent practices. Several EU data protection authorities have issued enforcement actions regarding cookie banners that pre-tick boxes, bundle consent, or make rejection more difficult than acceptance. Organizations deploying Amplitude's tracking code on their own websites should assess their own cookie consent obligations. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using Amplitude's website tracking or embedding Amplitude's SDK should review whether their own cookie notices and consent mechanisms cover Amplitude's data collection activities. The presence of advertising-linked tracking on Amplitude's own website creates a direct compliance consideration for Amplitude and an indirect one for partner organizations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit the cookie consent mechanism on amplitude.com for compliance with EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR requirements, including the ability to reject non-essential cookies as easily as accepting them. CCPA/CPRA compliance should be verified for the Do Not Sell or Share mechanism's coverage of cookie-based advertising data.
