Cookieless World

Over the years, http cookies have become an integral part of the Internet and are the most popular method of identifying users for personalizing a message. Due to their prevalence, the distinction between the types of computer cookies was not well known for a long time – cookies were simply cookies.

Programmatic ad campaigns for brand awareness have traditionally been harder to target at the correct online users than performance campaigns as they rely upon more understanding of context and behavior. However, through the use of ultra-powerful algorithms and Deep Learning technology, RTB House has been able to take the lead on brand awareness campaigns and truly target users with great confidence and deliver significant, measurable results.

Our solutions based on Deep Learning technology have been widely recognized and have received the AI Excellence Award, MarTech Breakthrough Award, numerous Stevie Awards, and more.

Contextual targeting might not be a new, flashy approach, but with the shift towards privacy-friendly cookieless advertising, it’s about to become a crucial part of every advertiser’s outreach strategy.
