How marketers must tap into zero-party data in order to remain competitive in a hyper-personalized market with an increased focus on compliance and forthcoming legislation.
30-second summary:
- Apple Safari just announced it has blocked all third-party cookies as of March 2020, beating Google Chrome’s announcement that it will phase out third-party cookies by 2022.
- Data collection and use as we know it is changing rapidly, and it behooves savvy marketers to get ahead of the inevitable restricted access to third-party data and find other ways to get the data they need.
- Companies still have access to first-party data, which is data collected by a company on its website for its own use. The only restriction here is that the company must follow privacy regulations for ensuring transparency, right to correct, delete, etc.
