Cookieless Technologies

 

The world of digital advertising is bracing for the ‘death of the cookie’ in 2022. The travel trade industry is multi-layered, with 100s of touchpoints and handovers along the user journey – from search engines to publishers, DMO websites, OTAs, hotels and more. Travel industry marketing relies on third-party cookies and, while some ‘post-cookie’ solutions have been proposed, none of them presents a clear solution for travel advertisers in a post-cookie world. How can travel advertisers deal with this disruption?
