First party IDs are helping digital marketing move forward into a cookieless future.
The use of third party cookies has previously allowed advertisers to provide targeted adverts to users based on their browsing behaviours. However, in recent years each of the main browser – Microsoft’s Edge, Mozilla’s Firefox, Apple’s Safari – have removed third party cookies.
Google announced this week (June 24th) that it is delaying the implementation of third party cookie blocking by almost two years.
The company’s decision to take a more responsible approach and work with all interested parties will be a relief for many PPC managers who now have until mid to late 2023 to prepare.
Google’s cookie tracking changes – the digital giant is planning to make third party cookies obsolete in its Chrome browser by 2022 – has significant impact for marketers but all is not lost.
If you only use cookies to track your customer visitor behaviour, preferences and basic demographics while they’re on your website, you’re unlikely to be seriously impacted by the removal of third party cookies, expected to take place by the end of 2022.
