R1 believe the GDPR will help their industry continue to foster greater trust in digital advertising, supported by a more transparent and controlled marketplace for the benefit of businesses and consumers.R1 are accustomed to complying with the stricter EU standards and are prepared to support both clients and partners through their GDPR compliance journey. R1 will continue to provide updates regularly on the issues and best practices around effective GDPR compliance.

From my experience, try not to turn onto something (non-physical) which upsets you - it only reinforces the dilemma by feeding it, in a never-ending cycle.
If you stop yourself, as soon as you realize you are going down that path, it will soon die away.

Most people here naturally want to hear a balanced discussion, of some sort, but if one of us is continually looking for the negatives, then that person will never recover fully and will remain locked in to that behaviour, leading the rest of us to wonder if we should just leave them to their own devices or, as compassionate souls, suggest they follow the advise, above... :)

stt1, if it makes you feel happy that you have warned us about GDPR incurring a possible 'unknown' cost and non-compliance being subject to certain warnings or even punishment, then well done!
I am sure we are all eternally grateful.
Job done. Can we now please move on and not get too bogged down in endless speculation?

You are stating the obvious stt1 and making out there will be dire consequences for non-compliance and legislation may change and anything else you can sweep up and posting it as if it was especially noteworthy.
Ad-Tech companies of any calibre, like R1,will be across all eventualities, relating to GDPR etcetera and although implementation may have some costs, they are not likely to be a revenue-impacting deal-breaker.
In fact, the costs of enhanced transparency, offered through GDPR, may be more than offset by increased customer confidence and that goes for the Ad-Tech industry as a whole.
Of course, some smaller outfits will have their knuckles rapped, if they are below-par, in terms of compliance with regulations.

stt1, my take on what you are saying is that, implementation of GDPR will cost R1 revenue and you state that failure to comply will result in all manner of penalties too.

Now you say:
"I don't think anybody knows for sure how much GDPR has affected a company."

It is obvious to my mind that any company not complying with regulations could then run into trouble and that to suggest R1 will be facing all manner of issues, that will affect its revenues, is speculative waffle.
R1 welcome GDPR, they see it as good for business, in order to reap greater rewards.

Show me where R1 say that GDPR will be bad for their business.

R1 are certainly not strangers to data-compliance, including the latest GDPR.
To imply that they will suffer revenue falls, as a consequence, is mischievous and misleading, to say the least.
Clutching at straws, in order to ill-wish the company, can only be seen as an act of deception.
R1 welcome GDPR as an opportunity to prove their credentials and some much-needed and desired clarity in the sector, providing positive effects on their future business opportunities and hence increasing revenue-streams.
Those companies who are not prepared and fail to implement GDPR, may well suffer accordingly.
The benefits outweigh the costs and therefore, why waste time looking on the dark side?

Loads of absolute speculation, here leading up to that event and by legal stricture nothing and no-one is able to offer forward information that is not market-sensitive.
I expect a positive outcome of the companies performance, as predicted, will put the lie to the negative spin-doctors but they will try their best to ill-wish the company in the mean-time.

Hi Oilovlam,
You are an Interactive Investor Refusé, like myself.
Too many clever peeps batting both ways on here and ADVFN.
For some it is an obsession/addiction to post all day and present a particular scenario.
All I know is that R1 has very recently been taken over by some movers and shakers and we have no influence as blind men proclaiming an elephant.
If Singer et al. can't begin to make progress, with added video capability and high ratings then who can?
