What Google's Newest Approach to Cookie Deprecation Means for Advertisers


This IDC Perspective discusses Google's newest approach to the deprecation of cookies. Google's recent decision to shift focus from deprecating third-party cookies to empowering user choice marks a significant turning point in the industry. After years of development and facing industry and regulatory pushback, Google has opted for a user-centric approach. Contrary to the popular view of this as a delay tactic, it may either change nothing or, in fact, accelerate the decline of third-party cookies as users choose to disable them en masse. Interestingly, this shift strategically positions Google to avoid antitrust scrutiny by relinquishing control over cookie usage.While the industry grapples with the implications of this change, it's clear that a cookieless future is rapidly approaching, demanding innovative solutions and a renewed focus on first-party data and creative (privacy-respecting) use of third-party intelligence. "Google's latest approach to cookie depreciation will do little to delay, and may in fact advance, the cookiepocalypse timeline. Google's decision to pass the privacy buck to consumers seems an attempt to maintain the company's advertising dominance while appearing to prioritize user rights." — Roger Beharry Lall, research director, Advertising Technologies and SMB Marketing Applications at IDC

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
