Preparing modern marketers for a cookieless world

Cookies have been the backbone of the open internet, but the clock is ticking on third-party cookies, and we need to plan for the disruption tomorrow by rethinking data strategies today. The end of support of third-party cookies by the most popular web browsers - and the rise of other types of tracking prevention - impact organizations across three key dimensions. This, coupled with the emergence of privacy legislation around the world, leads to a significant and long-term change in the digital marketing ecosystem.

Although this evolution of the cookies landscape has triggered legitimate concerns around the potential consequences on advertising efficiency and on market dynamics, we should all welcome any change promoting user privacy as a collective, meaningful progress.
