The name Max Schrems should be familiar. And also noyb - an acronym for None Of Your Business - probably sounds familiar. Noyb is the consumer rights group founded by Max Schrems. Based in Vienna, this data protection watchdog likes to put major topics on the plate of the data protection authorities. From forced consent to shady cookie banners, and from advertising in dating apps to international transfers. Learn what noyb is - and what it is not.(They are also hiring…)

Join us as we discuss the noyb cookie banner project, membership in this entity, and several key enforcement actions, such as locatemyfamily.com and Rocketreach. We also touch on the class action case from  The Privacy Collective, and the Protonmail case order
