As a follow-up to the temporary ban imposed on Meta’s online behavioral advertising, Norwegian supervisory authority (Datatilsynet) has issued a press release about advertising on Facebook. 

Datatilsynet has stressed that Meta is not prevented “from showing behaviour-based marketing to users who give valid consent to it”, nor does Datatilsynet prohibits “personalized marketing on Facebook as such.
