In the current market of online advertising, economic agents look to redirect the consumers demand to their products through the use of programmatic advertising. This type of advertising that uses Big Data and artificial intelligence, allows the companies to send advertisements to the consumers that are really interested in their products, which increases the possibility of a "match" between them. While this type of advertising can generate the competition and supply increase to the benefit of the consumers as an effect, it can also generate important risks for the correct operation of the market if they are used as unfair practice (including trademark rights infringement) and damages for the users if they ignore what is done with the data they willingly or unwillingly share. In this article we will analyze how this marketing strategy work, the benefits and risks that it represents, as well as the way such risks are being faced in the United States and European Union countries. The author aims to motivate a much deeper discussion at the South American level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Particularly, the article analyzes the recent adoption of the Supreme Decree N° 185-2019-PCM, Regulation that promotes and regulates the voluntary implementation of regulatory compliance programs on consumer protection and advertising. In this sense, the objectives compliance programs seek to achieve are highlighted and the guidelines to be followed are addressed so that their implementation within a corporation is truly effective, particularly in terms of advertising and consumer protection. Finally, advantages and disadvantages of self-regulation systems are developed and it is concluded that the adoption of compliance programs is positive for consumers, the private sector and authorities.

Non-agricultural and livestock cooperatives are a novel economic and social organization in the Cuban context, created on an experimental basis to satisfy the needs of the society, to re-organize services and productive processes, and to relieve the State of non-essential economic activities. Consumers during the act of consumption of goods and services in these associative forms are unprotected in front of the absence of mechanisms for consumer protection, which results in an infringement of their rights as consumers. The present article aims at evaluating the state of consumer protection in non-agricultural and livestock cooperatives in the province of Pinar del Río through the study of one of the gastronomic service cooperatives in Pinar del Rio municipality. The research used theoretical methods such as analysis-synthesis and techniques typical of empirical methods, such as documentary analysis, interview and observation. It concludes that there is a need to develop mechanisms or systems for protection to the consumer in non-agricultural and livestock cooperatives, especially those that provide direct services to consumers and do not have adequate cooperative education or a culture of quality and customer service. Based on this, a set of actions is proposed which, in the case study, can positively contribute to the design and application of a consumer protection system and, therefore, to the satisfaction of current and potential consumers.

E-commerce must be in tune with current global trends due to the huge spread and penetration even in developing countries, of mobile services as of smart devices such as Smartphones and Tablets. The absence of harmonic legislation that enshrines the rights and duties of the market participants creates a barrier that prevents its rise and development. Colombia wants to propose to the uncitral, the development of a study to unify not only the consumer's concerns but also those of the legal practitioners about mobile commerce and mobile payments.

This article aims to conduct a study on abusive clauses in the mortgage loans contracts. Following a comparative look between the evolution of the subject matter during the recent real estate crisis in Spain and the legal situation in Colombia, which underwent a similar crisis during the late nineties and today has the fundamental protection of the Consumer Code, the protection regime of the financial consumer, among others. We analyze interpretive mechanisms of legal activism and, up to certain extent, external to Private Law -supranational and constitutional-, which, at the same time, generated legal changes in both countries.

The objective of this article is to show how from the effect of Law 1480, 2011, a new limitation to contractual freedom has emerged, referred to formalization and documentation of agreements with consumers, which act as a control of form on the contractual process but not as an important control such as abusive clauses or criteria of contractual interpretation. For this, the following aspects will be analyzed: (1) Evolution of agreement form, (2) Signing and documentation of consumption agreements, and (3) juridical effects of failure to comply with law. In conclusions, analysis will be shown, demonstrating that to retake some rituals and contractual solemnities more than going backwards before a form liberty norm, it is an advancement, for the protection of the weak part in contractual relations.

This paper argues that the consumer should choose the procedural mechanism that satisfies their need to resolve a dispute and being compensated. Also, the administration, in order to defend rights of consumers, must have the authority to prefer the Constitution through diffuse constitutional control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article contains a brief overview of the international experience in consumer arbitration, in order to show the benefits of the arbitration system as a means for resolving consumer disputes. The Spanish arbitration system is a representative case as to the effectiveness of an arbitration system administrated by the State, given that the 90% of consumer claims are resolved in less than 3 months. The antecedents of the consumer arbitration in national legislation and its main features are topics analyzed in this article. Especially useful for the reader is the analysis that answers the question ¿if the incorporation of arbitration agreements in standard form contracts affects the voluntary nature of arbitration by the consumer side? In the same way, the analysis about class actions and consumer arbitration. Finally, the author makes policy recommendations to put into practice the arbitration system in the country.

In the scope of consumption law, the definition of consumer has been one of the most difficult and troublesome to delimit. Several legislative definitions of consumers have been adopted in Compared law. Besides in Colombian law the legal definition of consumer has been delimited by the doctrine of the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce and by the case law of the Supreme Court of Justice. This article is the product of a research that intends to take a tour in the scope of Compared and Colombian law with the purpose of establishing the advancements, the common points and the difference in the definition or notion of consumer in these fields of law. For this purpose have been used the legal definitions and the doctrine comments existing in Compared law in regards to this topic, making special emphasis in the European Community Law and in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Community, in which the protection to consumers has had ample development. The main result is that the definition of consumer in most cases is legally delimited and is set forth as the entity or person acquiring goods or services as final users, for utilizing it or them as personal, family or household use (non professional).
