Beyond the Cookie Crumble: Thriving Sans Third-Party Cookies

Ever wondered how companies track your every move?

For context, we’re talking about tech cookies. Don’t worry, all the baked goods are safe!

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, cookies are small text files that contain your browsing information. There are cookies created by the site you’re visiting (first party cookies) and cookies by other sites that have embedded their content on the one you’re visiting (third party cookies).

Think of it as the third-party cookies piggybacking off the website for your internet habits.

Now, contrast that with first-party cookies. These cookies are set by a website, for the website, when someone visits. It’s a way to keep track of what users do while they’re there. Your login information, what’s in their shopping cart, or language preferences.

Primarily, first-party cookies are all about improving the user experience on your site. They’re less about tracking for advertising and more about making sure your site remembers and responds to your visitors’ needs and actions.

The big difference? Third-party cookies track users across multiple sites, building a broader profile for targeted advertising. First-party cookies, meanwhile, focus on enhancing the user experience on your site specifically. DataTools has extensively developed products that help enhance the accuracy of first party data, such as addresses and phone numbers. This will become even more crucial as third-party cookies phase out.

Why the Big Phase-Out?

Third-party cookies may not be the main star of whatever content you’re consuming, but they’re one of the biggest celebrities in online advertising.

The big deal about phasing out third-party cookies is that marketers have been using it extensively to understand user behaviour, tailor ads, and measure their effectiveness across different websites. They’re quietly looking at what you’re looking at, and building a profile of you as a consumer.

Unfortunately, these companies often collect your data without your knowledge and permission.

The reality is that you aren’t using the internet – the internet is using you.
