When Apple rolled out their new iOS 14 update in late 2020, it came with some updated privacy settings for consumers, requiring users to explicitly opt-in to sharing their data with any app on their phone. In addition to giving consumers more control over their data, these new policies will have a definite impact for mobile advertisers.

Starting in 2022, Google will remove third-party cookies from Chrome in an effort to protect the privacy of consumers, but what does this mean for programmatic advertising? There has yet to be a decision made about what exactly will replace cookies (if anything), so in the meantime, it’s time for brands to find ways to connect with their customers without sacrificing their privacy.

2020 has been one for the record books, and 2021 is likely to bring more challenges to an ever-evolving industry. As marketers look to deal with the fallout from a cookie-less future, a global recession, and the ongoing COVID pandemic, adaptability and agility will remain more important than ever.
Marketers today are drowning in audience data. We get data every time we send an email, or launch a campaign from every platform and channel of our marketing stack.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed so much of our lives in 2020. It has altered the way we communicate with our friends, family and colleagues; the amount and the way we consume media; and even the way we shop.
