Children's Advertising

Also: CARU; Kids advertising rules

The rules for advertising to and around children: COPPA for data, CARU's self-regulatory guidelines for content in the US, the UK's HFSS restrictions on food advertising, and platform bans on targeting minors by interest. Most platforms allow only age and location targeting for under-18s and none at all in some jurisdictions.
