Third-party cookie tracking is
critical to digital
advertising…
“Google said on Tuesday it’s planning to end
support for third-party tracking cookies in
its popular Chrome browser “within two
years,”… The proposed shift is likely to send
tremors across an entire online ad ecosystem
that has long relied on cookies to target and
track advertising.”
Jan 2020
“After years of moving in this direction,
Apple said that all third-party cookies for
cross-site tracking will be blocked by
default in Safari 13.1 for iOS and
macOS.”

collecting detailed information on user
behavior on social media, search engines,
and their favorite websites in order to
advertise specific products and services.
understand behavior of web and mobile
users using web analytics.
storing stateful data, including authenticated
states, saved shopping cart info, and user
preferences, to enhance customer
experiences.
understanding ROI and return-on-ad-spend
from customers clicking on advertisements
and paid media
Leaving critical digital
advertising and attribution
functionality at risk…

BROWSERS ARE MOVING AWAY FROM
THIRD-PARTY TRACKING
… & LAWS ARE FOLLOWING SUIT
CONSUMER PREFERENCES ARE CHANGING
INDUSTRY CONTEXT
PRIVACY IS EVOLVING

CHANGES IN YOUR CUSTOMER DATA STRATEGY
Regulatory Compliance
Opt-outs stop fundamental data collection and analytics to impact tools for
customer insight and activation.
Third-Party Cookie Deprecation
The ‘go to’ means of data collection and tracking are in some cases fully lost to
marketers.
Ad Blocking, Mobile & Browser Changes
ITP 2.x, IDFA, Google’s same-site cookies, ad blockers, and more have reduced
insight and data fidelity.
Walled Garden Expansion
Advertisers spend where the highest return is, and publishers want to
maximize the yield of their traffic.

Jake is browsing
through an
advertising
platform and
sees sponsored
content based
on a broad
prospecting
audience he falls
into.
Jake arrives on
site directly. He
is recorded as a
new visitor - the
advertising pixel
is fired to record
pages that Jake
has interacted
within his
third-party
cookie set.
One week later,
Jake sees an
advertisement
that is more
tailored based
on data provided
by the
pixel/cookie on
what he
interacted with
on the site.
Jake has returned
to the site for his
2nd session
- the site is
personalized based
on the ad he
engaged with. The
pixel is fired and
the cookie
updated based on
interactions. He
moves to order.
Jake purchases the
item he’s been
thinking about.
This order is
recorded as one
from a return
visitor on their 2nd
session.
Advertising
platform receives
attribution, and he
is placed on a
suppression list
aligned to his
purchase.

Despite the friction
of finding the
products he had
previously
researched, Jake
does convert and is
recorded as a NEW
visitor conversion on
their FIRST session.
With no pre-sale
event tracking from
previous visits, no
attribution and no
ability to suppress
targeting.
Jake organically
returns to the site,
perhaps with help
from the
advertising
platform
prospecting. He
did not have a
cookie, so he looks
like a 2nd NEW
visitor instead of a
returning one. His
experience cannot
be personalized to
his needs.
Without the
cookies having
been set, the
advertising
platform is
unable to
retarget Jake as
the data of his
site visit does
not exist to be
actionable.
Jake arrives on site
directly as the
advertising
platform
prospecting
content has him
wanting to explore
offerings more
deeply. The pixel
is fired, but the
cookie is blocked
so his interactions
are unknown in
terms of how to
retarget.

• Head back to the way things used to be and buy advertising direct
• Focus on fuzzy measurements like last click attribution
• Go for scale rather than contextual or personalized experiences
“We Find Workarounds”
• Consistently changing your data strategies as browsers change theirs
• Hack our way into user IDs
• Privacy and consent come second
“We Start to Deliver a First-Party Driven Approach”
• Build a foundational customer data pipeline for your business (real-time, channel independent, trusted)
• Collect every first-party interaction with consent, rely on more accurate data
• Integrate data into the marketing and analytics tools to deliver customer-first experiences

■ Not to mention the best “advertising”
● Compare
○ Consider partners and solutions for aggregate comparison
