-
What will Chrome's third-party consent look like? We offer our best guess based on existing information (which is thin). Plus, we spotlight the controversy around ID bridging. The tactic supplies IDs for cookieless inventory through a spectrum of approaches, and not all of them are buyer approved.

-
The open web is getting smaller, with the squeeze happening in two directions. Curated deals are skimming the cream off the open web, and exposed made-for-advertising websites are shuttering.
-
Our other “a-ha” moments from the conference, including observations on CTV, the state of commerce media, programmatic transparency – and the lack thereof. (Oh, and as an aside, somebody at the show told me they’d fed my AdExchanger articles into an LLM that could practically reproduce my work in a snap. Which is cool. Not.)
