We all know that 2/2 is National Repeat Yourself Day, but let’s celebrate early by reporting things we’ve reported before. We’ll start with this Nielsen study that finds just 28% of marketers make data quality their top priority, ranking it behind audience targeting, ad creative, and reach. In fact, Nielsen says marketers are creatures of habit who do many irrational things. We are shocked.

Try not to laugh: telecommunications giant Verizon has launched its own privacy-focused search engine, named OneSearch. They promise to avoid cookies, data sharing, storing search history, or tailoring search results to previous behavior. The product is from Verizon Media, which will fund it by selling ads targeted only (well, mostly) on the current search keywords.

Procrastinators of the world can throw a party whenever they get around to it: Google has once more pushed back complete third-party cookie deprecation.  The new target is “early next year.” Reasons for the delay include concerns expressed by U.K. data regulator Information Commissioner’s Office, an ongoing inquiry by the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority, and widespread discontent in the advertising ecosystem.
