Over the past few years, we've been fortunate to host great online events with experts from all corners of the digital and privacy industry, and 2025 was one for the books.
In this article, we compile 10 of the best webinars we ran last year to ensure you start 2026 on the right track. Topics include consent management, performance-oriented compliance, local regulations, and, of course, we wrap it all up with our webinar of the year.
Biggest data privacy trends of 2025
We kicked off the year discussing what we anticipated to be the biggest privacy trends in 2025, including regulatory shifts, changing data collection approaches, and rising user expectations.
Featuring legal consultant Klaudia Galué, Chris Brinkworth from Civic Data and our CEO Romain Gauthier, the webinar covered a number of predictions for the year. How accurate were they, 12 months later? Watch the recording to find out:
Consent management: CMP setup, consent signals, and standards
This section is for teams who want to strengthen their consent foundations: assessing CMP configurations, improving the quality of consent signals used by advertising and analytics tools, and using standards to scale compliance across partners and markets.
How to prevent compliance risks by assessing your CMP setup
With regulatory scrutiny rising and tracking setups getting more complex, this webinar zoomed in on the “silent failures” that can create risk (like invalid consent signals, piggybacking, and vendor misalignment) and how to spot them before an audit does.
Flavie Toumert, Data Analytics Consultant at Optimize Matter, joined our Product Marketing Manager Rebecca Berbel to share a practical verification approach (technical + legal checklist) and present concrete tooling like our Advanced Compliance Monitoring (ACM) solution and Optimize Matter’s TMA to monitor and reduce compliance gaps over time.
Combine privacy compliance and efficiency with the IAB's GPP framework
In this webinar, the panel presented IAB's Global Privacy Protocol (GPP) as a technical standard for conveying consent and privacy choices across jurisdictions, and what that changes for publishers and advertisers.
Watch Rowena Lam, Senior Director of Product at IAB Tech Lab, and our VP of Product Jeff Wheeler cover the context, timeline, and business impact of the framework, along with a hands-on view of how to configure your CMP for GPP:
Master Microsoft Universal Event Tracking (UET) consent mode
It's not only about Google consent mode anymore, as consent modes are increasingly used by large corporations to keeping measurement working while respecting user choices.
This session focused specifically on Microsoft UET Consent Mode, including what it is, what’s new, and how it fits into a broader consent-mode ecosystem, with François de Broissia, Senior Data & Analytics Director at Jellyfish and Jeff Wheeler:
Performance-friendly compliance and measurement
The following webinars focus on practical approaches to preserve measurement and acquisition outcomes while staying compliant, including server-side tracking strategies and concrete guidance for balancing growth goals with GDPR requirements.
Combine performance and data compliance with server-side tracking
Server-side tagging is becoming a go-to approach for teams trying to improve data quality and governance while adapting to cookie constraints and stricter regulation.
In this webinar following our acquisition of Addingwell, our Head of Sales UK James Ensor, CEO Romain Gauthier, and Senior Pre-Sales Manager Laurent Werner laid out the concrete benefits, how consented data underpins activation, and what a privacy-by-design server-side architecture enables, with live Q&A:
How can you regain strong acquisition performance while remaining GDPR compliant? (French webinar)
Many e-commerce teams are facing falling acquisition performance amid regulatory change and the decline of third-party cookies, but a CMP can be used as a lever for better data collection and campaign outcomes (without sacrificing GDPR compliance).
In this french language webinar, Mathilde Abgrall and Laurent Thirion from Antadis joined our very own Frank Ducret and Laurent Werner to cover opt-in optimization, banner integration tactics, a look at server-side, and real before/after examples:
Regulatory focus and regional risk
In this section, you’ll find sessions that zoom in on regional realities, including navigating the U.S. regulatory patchwork of laws and understanding what advertisers need to know in Canada.
Managing privacy risk in a complex U.S. regulatory environment
With U.S. privacy risk increasingly shaped by an intricate patchwork of laws and high-profile enforcement, this webinar unpacked what attorney general actions are signalling for organizations collecting and sharing user data.

Advertising privacy in Canada: What you should know
Canada has become a market privacy and advertising teams can’t ignore, especially with Quebec raising the bar through Law 25 (with major obligations in force since September 2023).
In this session, Julie Ford (Executive Director, DAAC) and Rebecca Berbel (Product Marketing Manager, Didomi) broke down what advertisers need to know, from AdChoices and best practices to practical implementation options like universal consent, tracker monitoring, and server-side approaches:
