Marketers Should Worry More About Cookie Loss: IAB Report
Marketers are overconfident in their ability to adjust to the loss of third-party cookies, scolds this IAB report. While 77% say they’re prepared for the changes, most are not taking steps like collecting more first party data (59%), changing measurement strategies (66%) or using more AI (69%). One reason marketers may be chill: the report notes that cookie loss directly impacts up to $10 billion in open real time programmatic ad bidding, but not that this is a tiny fraction of the $700 billion global ad market.
