About the Session

Premium Targeting After the Cookie Crumbles

Official regulation threatens a major part of what the industry has been focused on building in recent times: cookie-based targeting. How should advertisers and publishers be prepared for these changes?

Everyone is talking about the new and exciting technologies out there that pick and choose the right impressions for an advertiser, or the right campaign for a placement, but in an ecosystem of increasing commoditisation it’s worth taking a closer look at that sweet segment of inventory that still commands a premium and delivers results. This talk will look in more detail at non cookie-based targeting techniques and provide some pragmatic advice on selling and delivering them.
