 If cookie banners aren't actually required by law in the US, then why is every website showing you one?

In this episode of CyberSound, Jason Pufahl is joined by Alex Cox, privacy attorney at Troutman Pepper Locke, to explain how tracking cookies, website privacy laws, and consumer data regulations are changing across the United States. They discuss Connecticut's updated privacy law, California's CCPA, Europe's GDPR, Global Privacy Control (GPC), CIPA wiretapping lawsuits, biometric and sensitive personal data, and why many businesses misunderstand cookie consent requirements. Jason and Alex also explain what a properly implemented cookie banner should do, why simply displaying a banner isn't enough, and how organizations can reduce legal risk while building trust with website visitors.
