    🚀 Exciting news from Covatic! We’ve just launched our Audience Linking solution, a game-changer for media owners looking to effectively pool and target audience cohorts across platforms without the use of third-party cookies. 🔒 Our innovative approach recognises anonymous users across various apps and services in a privacy-secure and scalable way. Audience Linking by Covatic does not rely on third-party cookies. It seamlessly integrates with first-party or pan-publisher IDs and can function effectively even in environments where no IDs are present. 💡 The encoding or ‘hashing’ system utilised by Audience Linking ensures that all data is secure and cannot be linked back to an identifiable user. When devices connect to our Private Audience Matrix, we can safely link audiences, offering a comprehensive view of user habits across mobile apps, CTV apps, Alexa skill, or websites. As Daniel Pike, our CPO, says: “Relevancy is key for both media owners and advertisers in today’s privacy-focused landscape. Our Audience Linking solution provides a pooled view of an anonymous user’s interests, allowing clients to link ads to actions more effectively.” We've worked closely with our clients to develop this solution, and we're really proud to offer this highly effective and sustainable way to reach audiences and boost ROI for advertisers. Join us in transforming audience targeting. 🌟 Check out more details in our press release here! #AudienceLinking #PrivacyFirst #AdvertisingInnovation #Covatic #adtech #media #advertising

These topics are more crucial than ever in our rapidly evolving marketing environment. Understanding and adapting to these changes can set your brand apart and drive success. Looking ahead, Covatic is committed to shaping a better advertising ecosystem prioritising effectiveness and ROI alongside ethical practices and social responsibility, ingrained deeply in our engineering DNA.

    Scott Brinker nailed it: "The future is privacy-compliant 1st-party data, and the future is 37% of the way already here." 👇🏼 From EMARKETER Key stat: 87% of US browsers could become cookieless long term, according to our analysis of StatCounter data. Beyond the chart: 👉🏼 Less than 1 in 5 (17%) US consumers say they always accept third-party cookies when given the choice, per a July 2024 EMARKETER survey. 👉🏼 If that holds true under Google's new consent-based model and Microsoft Edge deprecates cookies by the end of 2024 as planned, only about a tenth of US browsers will be trackable via third-party cookies, according to our Chrome's New Path for Privacy report. 👉🏼 "Cookies are going to be the exception rather than the rule," analyst Evelyn Mitchell-Wolf said on a recent episode of "Behind the Numbers" podcast, noting advertisers and publishers will still need to invest in cookieless strategies like Google's Privacy Sandbox, data clean rooms, or identity solutions.

    It has only been a week since Google announced its plans to retain third-party cookies. 🍪 While we still don’t have all the details and there’s some uncertainty, it’s clear that there’s a lot of alignment across the industry. The main takeaway? We really need to embrace the tech alternatives, such as Covatic, that have emerged over the last few years. Now isn't the time to ease our efforts regarding a cookieless future. As an industry, we must ensure that we are guiding our strategy and operations in the right direction. This morning, I read an article by Matthew Rance that ties in well with what our CPO, Daniel Pike shared last week. One key point highlighted by Dan and underlined in Matt's piece is that last week’s announcement does not imply that third-party cookies remain a viable option for scalable ad targeting. From what we’re seeing and what Matt discusses, the quality of data from third-party cookies is likely to drop as less information gets collected. Plus, ongoing misattribution issues will just make it tougher to create effective lookalike audiences that extend reach with such limited data. Take a moment to give the article a read! ⬇ You can also check out Dan's piece here: https://lnkd.in/e6ku_u22 #AdTech #DigitalMarketing #Innovation #advertising #Google #cookieless #Privacy

    🌎 Charity Day: Cleaning the River Trent 🛶 Last month our Operations Manager Richard Astridge, along with our office pup Ralphie and a group of enthusiastic local canoeists, came together to clean a section of the River Trent in Burton on Trent. This monthly activity, organized under the Canoeing Foundation's "Clear Access, Clear Water" campaign, is commited to restoring and maintaining the health and beauty of our waterways. Through their dedicated efforts, Rich and his fellow canoeists not only enhanced the cleanliness and ecological health of the river but also, as the leader of our B-Corp initiatives, he reaffirmed his personal commitment to fostering a positive environmental impact.

    In a new twist, Google has decided to retain third-party cookies, igniting fresh controversy in the advertising landscape. After years of planning to phase them out, the tech giant is now giving users a choice between cookies and alternatives like Privacy Sandbox. 🔊 This latest announcement has, at best, generated significant uncertainty and speculation; at worst, it has fostered a false sense of security. This challenge goes beyond just Google; it's really about what consumers want. Because of that, cookies are gone from 70% of the internet as people are stepping up to express their preferences. While ID-based solutions have long been the most popular method for audience segmentation, their effectiveness is diminishing. At Covatic, we are witnessing a significant shift in the industry as companies move away from reliance on cookie signals. On-device solutions are emerging as a superior alternative, offering enhanced reach and efficiency without the need to match IDs. Leading publishers are partnering with Covatic to safeguard their businesses against declining OMP revenue while simultaneously unlocking new advertising opportunities, achieving impressive returns on advertising spend in just a few months. 📈 In this article, our Chief Product Officer, Daniel Pike, delves into the important questions sparked by Google's recent changes. 🤔 #AdTech #DigitalMarketing #Innovation #Advertising #Google #Cookieless #Privacy

    Google’s Big Cookie Reversal: What Does It Mean for the Industry? In a surprising turn of events, Google has opted to retain third-party cookies, sparking considerable discussion within the advertising industry. 🗣️ This sudden shift underscores the ongoing concerns of advertisers and regulators about Google's Privacy Sandbox, the proposed replacements for cookies. The announcement has elicited mixed reactions, revealing an industry bracing for inevitable change. As advertisers and publishers navigate this development, it's clear that relying solely on Google isn't sustainable. 🚫 The inevitable phasing out of cookies calls for the industry to chart its own course forward. Embracing advanced and effective technological alternatives, such as Covatic, which have emerged in recent years, is clearly essential. 💡 What does this latest development mean for publishers, brands, and the broader ecosystem?
