Update: 2025-07-27
Description
What is “manipulative design”? How does this concept differ from “dark patterns”? How could we expand website and mobile app monitoring to a company’s ad stack?
Boltive’s Christine Desrosiers has joined us for another Privacy Tech interview. She is an operations and product professional with 20 years of experience building best-in-class publisher ad stacks and ops teams, and integrating ad and site stacks with Privacy Tech. She is involved in a number of industry working groups and advisory boards, working to raise the bar on privacy, security and transparency.
