DMA (Digital Markets Act)

An EU regulation that limits the economic power of designated gatekeeper platforms, such as restricting self-preferencing and cross-service data combination.

Explanation

DMA entered force in 2022-2023, and gatekeeper compliance changes affecting marketer workflows landed through 2024-2025. Gatekeeper obligations affect how marketers can target and measure on platforms like Google and Meta in the EU. Repeat violations by gatekeepers can trigger fines up to 20 percent of global turnover, which reshapes the targeting options available to marketers.

Usage context / examples
