Thompson Hine lawyers Steven G. Stransky and Kim Sim Sandell recently published on <em>Law360</em> an article, “Opting In To CIPA Risk Mitigation After New Precedent,” which can be accessed in full below.

contentpilot/introduction

The authors focus on recent court rulings in California, particularly in Dino Moody v. C2 Educational Systems, which have broadened the interpretation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) to potentially include website advertising technologies like cookies and pixels as equivalent to pen registers or trap-and-trace devices. This development has sparked a rise in CIPA lawsuits, which often target small businesses with costly legal challenges. To mitigate these risks, businesses may consider adopting an opt-in approach for using such technologies, although this contradicts other California privacy laws that favor opt-out frameworks.
