How publishers can prepare for the sunsetting of third-party cookies

Yesterday we launched our latest insight report, How Publishers Can Swap Out The Cookie Jar, which looks at what identity solutions are available to publishers and advertisers.

As a key part of the report, we interviewed many of the leading tech vendors offering cookie-less solutions, and enquired into the thinking and rationale behind them. It’s a fascinating area, not least because no unified standard has emerged, yet there are concrete steps publishers can take now to prepare ahead of 2022.

The report is free to download and includes insights from Lotame, LiveRamp, Quantcast, BlueConic, Permutive, Illuma, and others. The purpose is to provide an all-encompassing report that you can use as a guide and reference point.
