Highlights include the emergence of new technologies and the (r)evolution toward improved user privacy on the Internet. These indicate a present and future moment of change that will affect both people and brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The metaverse, cryptocurrencies, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), are some trends that brands must understand to best reach their target audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before looking to the future, we need to remember our homework from 2021: adapting our digital activity to fit the new reality focused on privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We estimate that companies that do not adapt to the current changes in privacy will lose up to 25% of their data if they do not implement new Privacy solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">User privacy online is something that fully affects both consumers and companies. With the disappearance of third-party cookies, companies and brands must find new ways to ethically collect and measure user data, while continuing to offer personalized experiences to each user.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Data_Privacy_Day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Data Privacy Day<\/a>, we tell you how you can best adapt and operate with the new privacy rules in order to keep making the most of your data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2022, privacy\u2019s peak<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies that utilize customer data must rethink the way they operate online with the disappearance of third-party cookies. User privacy regulations (like the California Privacy Rights Act) affect: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what data we collect<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how we collect it, and <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how we activate it in our strategies<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the words of Paula G\u00f3mez, Data &amp; Adtech Director at Making Science, \u201cIf we don\u2019t adapt to this new scenario, it will lead to two major errors. First, it means that we are not respecting the relevant regulations, nor our customers. Secondly, it means our activity cannot be correctly measured, leading to errors in measurements and activations that will affect our business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To mitigate these effects, companies must integrate First-Party Data: customer data that the company owns directly. It\u2019s crucial to make this data central to the marketing strategy. Then you can have control over the platforms that capture, process, and activate this data, working within an integrated ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with this new strategy, we recommend implementing solutions that can help us develop campaigns and actions with the same normality as in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Our most recommended solutions for a cookieless future include<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics 4<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consent Mode<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Server to Server (S2S)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics 4<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics 4, or simply GA4, has new capabilities that <strong>improve user identification across devices and platforms<\/strong>; new capabilities to measure and gain compliant insights; and machine learning-based capabilities for new and advanced insights.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consent Mode<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option is Google&#8217;s Consent Mode. This solution allows <strong>Google tags (analytics and advertising) to adjust their behavior based on the user&#8217;s consent<\/strong>. It can send the information as usual if the user consents. If not, it will send a cookieless ping.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Server to Server (S2S)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Server to Server uses server-side tracing, where a single tag sends information to the server and from there redirects the strictly necessary information to each platform, creating a more secure data flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which option is best for you?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, privacy is a very serious matter. Companies must keep their online experience relevant and personalized without compromising the privacy of their customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t gotten started yet, don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late.
