ID solutions: the better alternative to cookies.

Datalicious Podcast S4E3

 

 

The importance of addressability in advertising

The latest episode of Datalicious is about unique user IDs in the open internet. You'll hear from Uli Hegge (NetID), Daniel Neuhaus (The Trade Desk) and Norman Wagner (UTIQ) about various approaches, such as deterministic and probabilistic IDs. They explain why user consent is so important and how ID solutions could replace cookies. We'll look at standardization issues and the future of these technologies. You'll hear about the challenges in Germany, where inconsistent data protection authorities and lack of standardization in the consent process affect competition. My guests discuss contradictions between data protection wishes and user behavior, as well as the differences between the open internet and platforms. Other topics include: creative approaches to refinancing media, and the importance of transparency and clear criteria in advertising. You will learn why the collaboration and interoperability of different ID systems is crucial, and how trust and data protection can be ensured in digital identities. Finally, participants will look optimistically to the future, where integrated solutions and alternative models could be developed to address the challenges of digital identity and promote both media diversity and quality journalism.
