An ICO spokesperson said:
“The ICO recently set out its regulatory approach during the COVID-19 pandemic, where we spoke about reassessing our priorities and resources.
“Taking this into account we have made the decision to pause our investigation into real time bidding and the Adtech industry.
“It is not our intention to put undue pressure on any industry at this time but our concerns about Adtech remain and we aim to restart our work in the coming months, when the time is right.”
