Frequently Asked Questions

What does a 'cookie-less' world mean?

A cookie-less world refers to an environment where third-party cookies (used for cross-site tracking and targeted advertising) are deprecated or blocked by browsers, reducing the ability for advertisers to track individual users across sites.

How will the demise of third-party cookies affect advertisers?

Advertisers will face greater difficulty reaching and targeting specific audiences using behavior-based methods. Campaign planning, measurement and addressability will need to shift toward contextual signals, publisher-provided data, and privacy-friendly solutions.

What strategies does Sofia Maravich recommend?

Sofia recommends leveraging contextual advertising and targeting, creating personalized content, and using publisher data to inform campaigns — approaches that respect privacy while preserving relevance and monetization.

Can publishers still monetize effectively without cookies?

Yes. Publishers can rely on contextual targeting, first-party data (including logged-in user signals), and premium content-based placements to retain value and provide brands with meaningful inventory.

ClickZ | March 26, 2020 - With rising privacy concerns, the digital advertising industry is making moves away from traditional targeting and tracking. The recent news like Google’s plans to shut down third-party cookie tracking in Chrome only solidifies the trend that the digital advertising industry is headed to become a non-data targeted environment. This – much needed – transition will create challenges for advertisers as they work with media vendors to carry out targeted campaigns.

In this ClickZ article, Sofia Maravich, senior director of client success at Nativo discusses how the crumble of cookies will disrupt the digital advertising industry. In a non-data targeting ecosystem, content consumption habits change, reaching specific audiences becomes increasingly challenging and questions around ad-monetization arise like never before. Sofia argues that leveraging contextual advertising and targeting, along with personalized content and publisher data are the keys to success in this new normal.
