Since third-party cookies have been disabled from Google Chrome and most of the search engines, businesses need to focus on a more direct approach to engage with their customers. This first-party approach can be divided into four steps. First, build a marketing approach that focuses on a direct relationship between the brand and its customers. Second, invest in a secure database that guarantees data privacy and allows data clean-up on request. Third, utilise Global Site Tag Manager to track website traffic and conversions (don't forget to add both cookie and privacy notifications). And finally, invest in a first-party privacy approach that builds on a long-lasting relationship between the brand and its customers.
