In this edition of the Cookieless Newsroom, we bring you the latest in digital ad innovations and regulatory moves. From antitrust trials and new product launches to evolving privacy standards, industry giants such as Google, Apple, and Amazon are redefining the landscape as we move further into a cookieless future.

In this edition of the Cookieless Newsroom, we mostly covered regulatory news, with new updates on many players, including Google, Meta, and Apple.

RTB House has managed to fine-tune Chrome’s new cookieless tool—the Privacy Sandbox—so that it can tailor ads to specific users while protecting their privacy. How is this possible, and what role does the Product-Level Turtledove play in the process? Let’s dive into it.

We’re looking at why working with multiple retargeters allows you to reach more people and drive better campaign performance and business results.
