Cookie deprecation is hanging over the media and advertising industry like a storm cloud. New identity solutions built on first-party data are clearly one solution, but publishers and advertisers differ on whether they’re building their own proprietary solution or a shared shelter that will scale – and explained why at AdMonsters’ Ops conference in New York City.

Today’s column is written by Sergey Shprints, head of analytics operations at Hearts & Science. For the last two decades, advertisers, publishers and data/tech providers have relied on “centralized identity.” They’ve gotten used to finding, […]
Third-party cookies may be on the way out in Chrome, but that doesn’t mean the end of data-driven advertising. There are still many other types of audience data that marketers will have at their disposal, including identity graphs and consented third-party data, household-level data, second-party data, contextual data, cohorts and, of course, first-party data, including […]

2020 brought an identity crisis to the online advertising industry. The year started with Google answering the until-then theoretical question of what might happen to third-party cookies at some unknown point in the distant future. In July, Apple made a similar move with the announcement that its proprietary mobile device ID, the IDFA, would soon […]

Email in particular is being heralded as a way to maintain identity in the face of third-party cookie loss. And numerous industry solutions are being built with email […]
It’s the dog days of summer. The afternoons are sultry and the pace is slow. Ice cubes melt and tinkle in glasses, cats nap under porches … and it’s easy to forget that the earth is shifting and splitting under the ad industry’s feet. As managing editor Ryan Joe notes in this week’s episode, the […]
Preparing for the end of the cookie isn’t just the job of tech companies building alternate solutions. It’s also the job of the agency. “If you’re not taking advantage of this time, you’re doing yourself a disservice,” said Liane Nadeau, SVP and head of precision media at Digitas.
