Advertising

The advertising industry is not having an easy time. Print media budgets are limited and online competition is fierce. Moreover, since the AVG, online advertising has been under a magnifying glass. Finally, the content of advertisements is regulated by advertising law.

Meanwhile, not advertising is not an option: “stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time”.

Online advertising allows advertisers to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. This is potentially a much more effective form of advertising than classical print media. But in order to measure that effectiveness, cookies are used and personal data is collected. There are strict privacy rules for this, and the Telecommunications Act also provides regulations.

In more traditional forms of advertising, advertising law plays a greater role. This deals with the question of what can and cannot be said and done in advertising. These rules are laid down in general and specific advertising rules.

In all legal advertising issues it is important to be advised by a specialist. SOLV has the expertise needed in this legal minefield.
