How did the cookie crumble?
GDPR (2016)
E-Privacy Directive
(Oct 2020)
 85% of users did not opt
in or give consent,
reducing targeting pools
and
measurement/reporting.
CCPA
(Jan 2020)
 Reduces the data that
can be used for
optimizations and
targeting on ~10% of
the US population
IOS 14 App Tracing
Transparency
(Apr 2021)
 Reduces the targeting pools
even further and reduces ad
interactions across apps
and devices
Google Chrome
Announcement
(Mar 2021)
 Chrome has 70% browser
share, this substantially
reduces data available for
targeting and for
reporting/measurement
 More impact to Facebook
than paid search. IDFA is
no longer accessible to
apps.
 Only one conversion
event can be attributed to
a click.
1st party identifiers for
Google, Microsoft/LinkedIn,
Facebook, Twitter etc still in
use
Expected changes in paid search *and advertising*
A greater
emphasis
on first-
party data
Importance
of logged-
in activity
A new
reliance on
context
and
behavior
Publishers
and brands
working
more
closely
New ways
to track the
decision
journey

These changes will disrupt how most brands currently do
addressability (the profiling and targeting of audiences) and
accountability (all the measurement of digital marketing).

remarketing pools.

walled gardens – which
will lead to data silos

Addressability Accountability
Reporting
• Reporting will be
impacted by the signal
loss.
• Site actions can’t be
passed to third parties
• Attribution
Optimization
• Decrease in data and
conversion signals
• Opt-outs will slow down
testing and optimization
• Less accurate attribution
and modeling
Audiences and Addressability – What’s impacted in PPC?
Targeting using first-party ID-based audience
solutions.
• Customer Match
Targeting that relies exclusively on first-party data.
• In-market Audiences
• LinkedIn Profile Targeting (Microsoft ONLY)
• Demographic, device, location, language targeting
Targeting that relies on shared data between
advertising platforms like Microsoft/Google and
will continue to work, as long as websites are tagged
with the latest tags from the platform (i.e. UET JS tag.)
• Remarketing Lists for Search Ads
• Dynamic Remarketing
• Similar Audiences
• Custom Combination Lists with audiences above
Audiences not impacted as 3P cookies phase out Audiences impacted 3P cookies phase out
