Sidley is a proud sponsor of the Retail Industry Leaders Association’s annual Retail Law Conference.
On October 11, Sidley partner Amy Lally will moderate a panel titled “Pixel Mania — What Every Retailer Needs to Know About Today’s Application of Analog Laws to the Digital Era” featuring Sheri Porath Rockwell, counsel and member of the Privacy and Cybersecurity practice at Sidley; Noni Ellison, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Tractor Supply Company; and Scott Sherman, Senior Vice President, Chief Legal and Human Resources Officer at Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. The session will explore (1) how to identify the website tools that are being challenged in litigation; (2) key defenses for defeating “pixel” litigation; and (3) tips for mitigating the risk of future litigation.
The past year has seen a new wave of litigation that goes beyond session replay cookies and focuses on core ad-tech, CRM, and the inherent functioning of the internet to identify IP addresses. Who’s bringing these lawsuits? What laws are they leveraging? How much is at stake? Is it possible to future proof? These questions and more will be discussed by this panel of industry leaders and veteran defense counsel.
