Attention #mops and #marketing peeps - this one's important 🧨 If you're relying on, using or selecting a vendor that relies on using third-party cookies, it's time to think twice about your 2024 plans. Google just followed both Mozilla and Safari with announcing they too plan to depreciate the usage of third-party cookies from next year. I think I can hear a few #martech vendors hearts drop 🥴 Link in the comments for more info 👇 P.S. Dreamdata does not rely on third-party cookies, so you're safe with us. P.P.S. If you think grey areas like cookieless tracking or fingerprinting are the solution, you're just delaying the inevitable.

And that’s how the cookie crumbles… or doesn’t! 🍪 In a surprising turn of events, #Google has scrapped its plan to remove #cookies from its Chrome browser. However, the persistence of cookies means: -A new #Chrome experience is likely on the horizon 🖥️ -Consumers will continue to care about how you use their #data 🕵️ -There will likely be an increase in consumers choosing to disable cookies 📵 Curious about how you can plan for the impacts? Check out our full article here: https://bit.ly/3Wog4xB

With reference to "Privacy Sandbox" initiative to block 3rd party cookies in web, Google has released a chrome extension to debug & analyse cookies usage. This is particularly useful for finding out if a website is using third-party cookies which is important because Google is gradually disabling third-party cookies, starting with 1% of users since Q1 2024 for testing, and eventually ramp up to 100% of users from Q3 2024.

Data is power, especially when it sheds light on global displacement crises. That's why we were honored to partner with Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), a leading advocate for the internally displaced. Together, we upgraded IDMC's website with the latest web solutions, enhancing their capacity to communicate their vital mission. We didn't just update a website—we revolutionized the way IDMC engages with the world. This is what gets us excited at Axelerant – harnessing the power of digital transformation to empower impactful organizations.

🚨 “Google are removing cookies, tracking will break, your campaigns will crash, the end is nigh” This is not an exact quote from a media site but I’ve seen plenty share and push this story over the past two years and I can tell its not true! I’ve had a long interest in the just how we interact with software and the means to track user interaction in both an ethical way and how they are used in a harmful/intrusive way. My interest started back in the days working with the wonderful people in the Mozilla community. The part that hooked me back in the day and set me on a journey which brought me all around the world with the community was the Mozilla Manifesto (https://lnkd.in/ehD_DmPQ), especially point four “Individuals’ security and privacy on the internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.”  Massive shout out to Brian King for responding to my random email all those years ago and the FirefoxOS folx (I still have my phone 🦊 ) Getting back to the future (2024), in my current role at HubSpot I’ve spoken to marketers, sales, service and executive level teams who shared their worry about how they will be able to continue their campaigns, track which pages make up the best user journey and so on. Here’s what I’ve said to all of them. - Google is sunsetting Third party cookies support in Google Chrome as part of their Privacy Sandbox toolset, they are currently targeting 1% of the Chrome user base today and aim to have completed this by Q3 2024 - Third-party Cookies are cookies which are used principally for web tracking as part of the web advertising ecosystem. These are advertising cookies from other domains, tracking without permission and passing on your information without your consent, the cookie banner may not protect you at all. - Other majority of other browsers have been blocking Third Party cookies for years. Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave and more. - The tracking suites many use to form a clear vision of how their assets are doing; such as Google Analytics, and our own HubSpot tracking code are all considered “first party” by default, you place them on your domains and allow-list them. To bring this post to close (I hit cap limit), I recommend checking out the Privacy Sandbox and the proposal on the Topics API. (links below) It is a big topic and one that has brought about a lot of discussion within the web standards community but that's for another day.
