Challenges and Opportunities

This included integrating key interactive elements, such as an updated project portfolio and history timeline​​. 

• GDPR and CCPA Compliance: To ensure Giffin’s compliance with global privacy regulations, Media Genesis implemented Cookiebot, a Google-certified consent management platform. This allowed Giffin to manage user consent for cookies and other data collection practices seamlessly, ensuring adherence to GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy laws​.
