Recently, Google announced that Chrome browser will no longer allow using 3rd party cookies, starting from 2022, in an attempt to take another step in improved user privacy. Although Google isn’t the first tech giant to follow this path because Firefox and Safari had started this process long before, Google’s decision will have a bigger impact on the digital marketing arena. Nicole Brennan, Director of Client Services, joins us today to talk about the impact of this change.
David and Nicole dive into the conversation by talking about what types of cookies are going away, different types of cookies, and how they are distinct from each other. They also talk about some of the other options available for retargeting once cookie-based retargeting becomes unavailable.
