INDUSTRY NEWS
10 Days to go before the EU Cookie Law takes effect

In 10 days the EU Cookie Law comes into effect. Much thought has already gone into this by many of those affected, but there are still insights to be gained and changes to be made. We've compiled some frequently asked questions that may help you assess your own compliance with the EU Directive, and we’ve also got for you to download, the presentation given by Jones Day at our London Symposium in April.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

Set up default, but customized, Terms & Conditions and Return Days for all your offers on the Advertiser Settings Tab in the Account Section of your Rakuten LinkShare Account. By indicating these default criteria here, you won't have to fill in those steps when creating a new offer. Please note this change only applies to NEW offers.
