"We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your use of our services. This information may include your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, and time spent on our services.— Excerpt from Chegg's Chegg Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Cookie-based tracking and data sharing with advertising partners engages CCPA and CPRA in California, which treat cookie identifiers as personal information and sharing them with ad networks as a potential sale or sharing requiring opt-out rights. Under GDPR, cookie placement for non-essential purposes requires prior informed consent; the relevant enforcement authority is the user's national data protection authority within the EU. The ePrivacy Directive also applies to EU users for cookie consent. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent management is a standard industry practice, but compliance depends on whether the consent banner is configured to block non-essential cookies prior to consent and whether all advertising and analytics vendors are listed in the cookie disclosure. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA users require prior opt-in consent for non-essential cookies; California residents require opt-out rights for cookies that constitute personal information sharing; Illinois and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may impose similar requirements. The policy's use of the OneTrust platform suggests awareness of these requirements, but operational implementation must be verified. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Each third-party advertising and analytics vendor receiving data via cookies should be listed in the cookie disclosure and covered by an appropriate data processing agreement; procurement teams should verify that cookie vendor lists are current and that vendor contracts reflect the applicable privacy framework requirements. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit the OneTrust configuration to confirm non-essential cookies are blocked before consent is given by EU users; verify that the cookie list is complete and updated when new vendors are added; ensure that cookie opt-out signals are honored and that the consent record is maintained for audit purposes.
