Quotes


1.    " We try to understand where a site visitor is in their customer journey and map that to what the brand has in mind in terms of messaging that they want to deliver, or the experience they want their visitors to have. We would obviously be a lot more capable of personalizing things by calling someone by their name but the cookie laws do impact us, so we try to figure out the minimal amount of personalization we can make without much information."
 
2.    “Our data collection model relies mostly on first-party data, unlike some other advertisers that rely extensively on the ability to track users across multiple websites to understand their preferences to later promote relevant products to users on other websites. We are really focused on a brand owner's own website and that has also lessened our exposure to privacy laws. We need to comply and we are compliant. But privacy laws haven't affected us fundamentally.”
