On the show today, Alan and Jeremy talk about the mimic octopus, zero-party data, and what he sees as the biggest threat facing marketers today. Up until recently, third-party cookies have been used to make digital advertising and tracking individuals online extremely easy. However, third-party cookies are going away, consumers are more conscientious about being tracked, and people are more open to paying for ad-free experiences. As the power to track is disappearing, marketers need to use new and old-school methods to adapt. In this new landscape, if marketers want the data, they have to give something for it. Jeremey outlines some of the findings from Attest 's recent zero-party data report to help us understand these new consumer behaviors and what consumers want in return for their data. He also talks about shifts in consumer expectations regarding how data will be treated, shifting cookie-blocking behavior, and who he expects will win and lose as we transition away from third-party data.?
