This is a fantastic article by Digiday breaking down the differences between ID bridging and ID spoofing. Justin Wohl, CRO of Snopes, puts it perfectly when he highlights the importance of a SaaS-based business model to give publishers the control they need to effectively use this strategy to increase bid density & CPMs without eroding advertiser trust. Thats one of the main reasons leading publishers like Raptive and Mediavine are using Optable's Identity Solution to help manage all the different components of their identity graph. Go here more info on our solution: https://lnkd.in/eXJbRS9D
If ID spoofing is the latest villain of the open #programmatic market, nefariously trying to siphon ad revenue from advertisers’ pockets, ID bridging is the hero trying to play peacemaker amid cookie deprecation. But the twist in this story is that the hero and the villain are twins separated at birth, operating on the same genetics, but raised on different moral codes. While ID bridging champions transparency, ID spoofing masquerades behind a lack of reporting, hoping to not get caught. “It’s a disservice to call it ID bridging and separate that from ID spoofing,” said Justin Wohl, CRO of Snopes.com and TV Tropes. “[That] might suggest that these are differentiated technologies, but it’s one and the same.” But before we declare what’s “good or evil” in the grand scheme, let’s first answer the question: WTF is ID bridging? #IDspoofing #IDbridging In this piece by Kayleigh Barber, we also speak to Lee Lewis of Epsilon, and Hillary Slattery of IAB Tech Lab.

🚀 Yesterday our CPO and Co-Founder, Bosko Milekic, presented at not just one, but TWO different sessions during the the IAB Tech Lab NYC Summit! 1️⃣ 💡 First, he helped give the audience the "state of the state" on Google's #PrivacySandbox APIs and shared insights & actionable advice on how the market can get value from this solution. It was a fantastic session alongside Google's Amit Varia, BidSwitch's Barry Adams and NextRoll's Lizzie Chapman. 2️⃣ 🔓 Next, he did a deep dive session on the opportunities for privacy-safe ad targeting that the #PAIR protocol, which Google recently donated to IAB Tech Lab, can unlock across #DataCleanRrooms and #DSPs. The session with Andrew Knox from Decentriq, Rashi Verma from Google, and Shailley Singh from IAB Tech Lab was the perfect balance of thought leadership and technical deep-dive. #DataConnectivity #Interoperability #DataCollaboration #PrivacySafe #AdTech
