OpenAI starts laying foundations for ChatGPT ads in EU
Summary
OpenAI is developing technical infrastructure for its advertising business to comply with strict European Union privacy regulations. A review of a recent code update reveals the implementation of a consent management system, which requires explicit user permission for tracking—a stark contrast to the opt-out model used in the U.S. By incorporating country-specific data handling and consent signals, OpenAI aims to navigate the complex regulatory environment of the AI era. While the tracking pixel is currently in a managed-service phase, these updates are essential for OpenAI to scale its advertising efforts beyond the U.S. and into markets like the EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
