Advertisers have grown more worried about cookie loss since last year (45% vs 38%), while fewer publishers are “very concerned” (14% from 25%). according to this DoubleVerify survey. Around 48% of both groups felt that first-party data will become more important, while around 23% expected a unified ID to replace cookie-based solutions.
Over one quarter (27%) of respondents to this Twilo Segment survey think personalization has become less targeted in the past year. Unexpected.

Companies are less conflicted: 92% are using AI-driven personalization and 80% say it drives higher spending.
