Facebook is phasing out its arrangement to let marketers target ads based on individual data from third party providers like Acxiom and Experian.

Adobe’s master press release also casually mentioned general availability of their Device Co-op, originally announced two years ago. The Co-op lets Adobe Analytics Cloud customers pool deterministic device matches to create a shared master set of matches. In a newly privacy-conscious world, perhaps a quiet announcement was best. But if other sources of cross-device matches are limited by GDPR and other changes, Adobe’s large customer base could make its Co-op an important alternative. Details here on how the Co-op works.

GrowthLoop will use TransUnion identity data to improve U.S. consumer match rates on client files sent to advertising media such as Facebook and Google Ads.  The data should also help clients to find matches among records within their files, building more accurate customer profiles.  GrowthLoop calls itself a “composable CDP”, meaning it works with data assembled in external data warehouses.
