Online Advertising and Marketing

With consumers increasingly using the internet for all their information requirements, companies have moved online to promote their products and services. By now, the online advertising budget frequently exceeds that for traditional advertising. While online marketing facilitates easy and direct contact with potential customers, it also raises a number of legal questions, such as if data on user behaviour (e.g., on social media platforms) or publicly available email addresses may be used for advertising purposes.
