New revenue opportunities as third-party cookies crumble, programmatic on the rise, and more
Opportunities abound as the third-party cookie crumbles
Reducing reliance on third-party cookies may not be at the top of every publisher’s agenda as we deal with the fallout from the coronavirus crisis. But the clock continues to tick on Google’s promise to ‘phase out’ support for third-party cookies, following in the footsteps of Safari and Firefox, who have already taken more aggressive moves against trackers.
Some publishers who have started the move away from third-party cookies are seeing success in alternative solutions. This week we’ve rounded up some of these examples, including Dutch public broadcaster Nederlandse Publieke Omroep who switched to contextual targeting in January, and has since seen its revenue increase.
Other publishers, including The New York Times, Vox, Condé Nast, Insider Inc., The Washington Post and The Telegraph have also launched advertising solutions that do not involve third party data.
