How The Internet Cookie Crumbles

Wednesday, June 16th, 12-1 PM PDT

Losing cookies could be the best thing for marketers:

With the cookies crumbling in 2022, sfBIG is bringing together a stellar lineup of industry experts to uncover what ‘no cookies’ means…no tracking, no targeting, no media measurement, no attribution, and no personalized messaging. Join us on June 16th at noon to explore a world without cookies – is your organization prepared?  According to a March 2021 IAB report, the majority of brands are ill-prepared and publishers stand to lose billions as cookies go away. Our panel will discuss why the cookie has been so important and dig into the impact its removal will have on the advertising industry.

Our Moderator:

Sara leads the Analytics and Data Sciences at Media Matters Worldwide. She has deep experience across every side of the industry from brand to publisher and tech to agency. Sara is passionate about using data to solve problems and tell stories. She pushes her teams as well as clients to look past reporting and observations to find true insights as that is what ultimately unlocks meaningful opportunities to create an emotional connection between brand and consumer.
