Cookieless Future for Marketers: Are you ready? πͺπ«
The marketing landscape is undergoing a seismic shift with the phase-out of third-party cookies, culminating in Google Chrome's complete ban on such cookies by the end of 2024.
Google's move marks a significant milestone as it prioritises consumer privacy, reflecting a broader industry trend towards safeguarding user data.
Third-party cookies have been instrumental in behavioural targeting and retargeting campaigns, but their demise reflects growing concerns over privacy from both consumers and regulators.
