Affirmative opt-in consent is required before processing sensitive personal data, including the personal data of known children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-lg\">Businesses must also respond to consumer rights requests within 45 days (extendable by a further 45 when reasonably necessary), conduct Data Protection Assessments before higher-risk processing activities such as data sales, targeted advertising, or profiling (if they process the personal data of 100,000 or more consumers), and implement reasonable security measures throughout the data lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc-flex-column\" style=\"--column-size: var(--column-size-5);--i:4;\">\n    \n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"504\" width=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/ccpa-how.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15979\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"uc-flex-row\" style=\"--padding-top: var(--wp--preset--spacing--10-xl); --padding-bottom: var(--wp--preset--spacing--10-xl);\">\n<div class=\"uc-flex-column\" style=\"--column-size: var(--column-size-5);--i:5;\">\n    \n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Asset-21.svg\" alt=\"Bank icon with various currency coins falling in\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc-flex-column\" style=\"--column-size: var(--column-size-7);--i:6;\">\n    \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"like-label-l\">RISKS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-risks-of-ignoring-the-dpdpa\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--5-xl)\"><strong>What are the risks of ignoring the DPDPA?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-lg\">Failing to meet DPDPA requirements can result in enforcement by the Delaware Attorney General, with civil penalties of up to USD 10,000 per violation. The original 60-day cure period expired at the end of 2025, so the Department of Justice may now grant an opportunity to cure at its discretion, based on the nature and scope of the violation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-lg\">Beyond financial penalties, gaps in consent management, opt-out mechanisms, or required notices can increase legal risk, disrupt advertising and data-driven revenue, and weaken customer trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-lg\">Many businesses operating under the DPDPA also face obligations under other U.S. state privacy laws. A single, well-configured consent management platform can address Delaware&#8217;s requirements while supporting compliance readiness across jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-lg\">As privacy expectations rise, inadequate data practices can also damage reputation, reduce customer engagement, and cost business.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"uc-cards-slider uc-cards-slider--layout-default uc-cards-slider--is-slider uc-ctx--dark\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n                            <div class=\"uc-cards-slider__heading\">\n                <div class=\"uc-cards-slider__heading__title like-h2 no-default-margin\">\n                    How a cookie banner helps your website perform                <\/div>\n\n                            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"uc-slider\" id=\"slider_69f615bddc12a\">\n                    <div class=\"uc-slider__actions\">\n                                                    <div class=\"uc-slider__buttons\">\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"uc-button uc-button-size-l uc-button-contained\"\n                                aria-label=\"Previous\" disabled>\n                            <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M16 22L6 12L16 2L17.775 3.775L9.55 12L17.775 20.225L16 22Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n                        <\/button>\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"uc-button uc-button-size-l uc-button-contained\"\n                                aria-label=\"Next\">\n                            <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M8.52476 22.3682L6.74976 20.5932L14.9748 12.3682L6.74976 4.14316L8.52476 2.36816L18.5248 12.3682L8.52476 22.3682Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n                        <\/button>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                <div class=\"uc-slider__window\">\n            <div class=\"uc-slider__track\">\n                <div class=\"uc-card-icon uc-card-icon-default uc-card-icon__size-large\">\n    <div class=\"uc-card-icon__icon image \">\n        <div class=\"uc-card-icon__icon-inner\">\n            <svg width=\"72\" height=\"72\" viewBox=\"0 0 72 72\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M72 0V39C72 54 57 72 36 72C15 72 0 54 0 39V0H72ZM60 12H12V39C12 42.7245 14.0286 48.0581 18.6103 52.6397C23.0182 57.0476 29.0621 60 36 60C42.9379 60 48.9818 57.0476 53.3897 52.6397C57.9714 48.0581 60 42.7245 60 39V12Z\" fill=\"#00A2FF\"\/>\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M35.627 33L23.1582 22.6093L30.8404 13.3907L54.3716 33L30.8404 52.6093L23.1582 43.3907L35.627 33Z\" fill=\"#00A2FF\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"uc-card-icon__inner\">\n                        <div class=\"uc-card-icon__title like-h4 no-default-margin\">\n            Reliable tracking you can trust        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"uc-card-icon__description\">\n            <p>Analytics and ads behave predictably based on real user choices.
