Adding ad pixels + conversion APIs: the near-term California exposure is the policy/product gap, not CCPA thresholds

When a small startup adds ad pixels and server-side conversion APIs, the binding near-term California obligations are CalOPPA's no-threshold DNT-disclosure duty and — bigger — boilerplate privacy policies that already promise a 'Do Not Sell or Share' footer link and GPC honoring the product lacks (FTC §5 exposure independent of CCPA thresholds). CCPA/CPRA itself is threshold-gated; AB 566 makes GPC ubiquitous in browsers Jan 2027, so wiring GPC suppression early is the cheap future-proof move.

Wiring Meta Pixel + Conversions API without a Facebook developer account: verification gotchas

Meta's CAPI setup wizard steers you toward Graph API Explorer verification, which requires a developers.facebook.com account that device-trust checks can block. You never need it: Events Manager tokens plus the Test Events tab cover generation and verification. Three more traps: duplicate datasets created by setup flows, per-dataset test event codes, and the 2026 'Limited Access' tier relabel that changes nothing.
