- Consent Managers will require platforms to enable verifiable, portable, and revocable user consents, impacting user experience and compliance strategies.
- Some obligations, such as Data Fiduciary registration and DPIAs, will phase in over 12-24 months, especially for Significant Data Fiduciaries (SDFs).
