Tapad Launches An Identity Resolution Solution To Link All The New Cookieless IDs

Proprietary cookieless identifiers  – seems like everybody’s got one these days. “It’s obviously reactive to the impending demise of the cookie,” said Mark Connon, general manager of Experian-owned Tapad, which launched a product on Tuesday called Switchboard that aims to make the growing multitude of cookieless IDs interoperable with each other.

Tapad CEO On Cross-Device Graphs And Where Its Data Comes From (Hint: Not Telenor)

Cross-Device? Nah, CDP. Tapad Launches A Customer Data Platform
