Ajay Rama (SVP Products) and Aditya Saxena (VP APAC) share insights on Business Insider India on how third-party cookies getting blocked could have huge implications for marketers.

This is a critical shift that has far-reaching implications for how consumer data is collected, shared and used across the web. Many marketing technologies and data companies have built their businesses on the back of third-party cookie data.

- Second-party data partnerships
- Privacy sandbox initiative from Google
- Contextual and event-based targeting gaining prominence
