Life After 3rd Party Cookies 8211 A Guide

Management Summary

The end of third-party cookies is casting ever-longer shadows. We say: There is no need to panic if you start now! In this guide we explain step by step how you can approach audit, strategy & implementation for a post-cookie strategy.

1. Don’t panic!

The world will continue to turn here – just as it did after the GDPR came into force. The huge opportunity is to be better than the competition with a good strategy and preparation. Or lose.

2. Analysis and strategy

Hardly any company can show an ad-hoc system map and documentation of their customer and marketing data. Now is the ideal opportunity to catch up and develop a strategy for the post-cookie era. The most important thing: strengthening first-party data and ensuring data ownership on all advertising systems.

3. Ensure consent compliance

According to our study on the compliance and future-proofing of the consent management implementations of the top D-A-CH companies, most sites are doing poorly. Both to ensure GDPR compliance and to prepare for the e-Privacy Regulation, now is the time to implement holistic enterprise CMPs (Consent Management Platforms).

4. Development of marketing DWH & CDP

Now is the time to consolidate the raw (!) marketing data in your own marketing data warehouse or CDP. Pay attention to real-time capability, import latencies and audience calculation – a two-hour-old targeting list is too old in the crucial phase.

5. Leverage the best tools and strategies from tech providers and platforms

Facebook, Google and Co offer their own solutions – these should be used intelligently. All of them! In addition, there are ID solutions that are primarily driven by everyone else. The good thing: With the newly created “Data Clean Rooms”, provider data can now be linked with your own in a privacy-compliant manner and analyzed and activated via machine learning models.
