Requirements for Using Cookies on a Website in Nevada

Nevada has enacted a privacy law called the Nevada Privacy of Information Collected on the Internet from Consumers Act (NPICICA) ^[5]. The law requires website operators to provide notice to Nevada residents regarding their data collection practices, including the use of cookies.

Under NPICICA, website operators must provide a clear and conspicuous notice that includes the following information ^[5]:

• The categories of personal information that the website collects
• The categories of third parties with whom the website shares personal information
• A description of the process for consumers to review and request changes to their personal information
• Whether third parties may collect information about a consumer’s online activities over time and across different websites or online services when the consumer uses the operator’s website or service

Additionally, website operators must obtain opt-in consent from Nevada residents before selling their personal information to third parties ^[5].

Therefore, if you plan to use cookies on your website in Nevada, you must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to Nevada residents about your data collection practices and obtain their opt-in consent before selling their personal information to third parties.
