Zürich, 1 May 2022 – The end of third-party cookies is approaching, and the tension between data privacy and the fundamental promises of digital marketing is rising. With the interactive online course "Data Privacy in Marketing", Webrepublic and Hyper Island assist marketing professionals in the transformation process of digital communication into the post-cookie age and develop solutions for the future with the participants.
Cambridge Analytica, the EU's new General Data Protection Regulation, Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention, or iOS14 - the topic of privacy has recently gained attention in public discourse. But since Google announced that it would block third-party cookies in the Chrome browser beginning in 2023, the marketing industry has turned upside down. Two fundamental promises on which digital marketing is based - measurement accuracy and individualized targeting – are being shaken up. A paradigm shift is taking place, focusing on consumers' need for greater transparency. New solutions are in demand.
"The end of third-party cookies is currently one of the most urgent topics in marketing. With this course, we want to actively drive the development of the industry and give participants the tools to reach their target groups with relevant advertising in the future."Tobias Zehnder
Mitgründer / Partner, Webrepublic AG
