Decoding EU Consent for Critical Messaging

Transactional push notifications are getting blocked — not by user choice, but by misconfigured consent frameworks. Here's how to fix it.

Hosted by Airship in partnership with regulatory experts from Taylor Wessing.

EU consent rules for transactional and marketing messaging are getting increasingly complex. Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) are increasingly treating a decline in cookie consent as a blanket opt-out — blocking transactional push notifications even when users have explicitly opted in at the device level. Outage alerts, billing updates, and security notifications go undelivered. Email pixels are now being treated like cookies, forcing teams to complely rethink their email consent workflows. Most teams are left with more questions than answers

  • Practical steps to align your legal and product teams on a compliant, workable approach
