In this edition of the Cookieless Newsroom, we spotlight pivotal updates from Europe.

In this edition of the Cookieless Newsroom, we highlight Microsoft’s deployment of the Ad Selection API in its Edge browser, a tool similar to Privacy Sandbox's Protected Audience API.

In this Cookieless Newsroom, you can read about the recently released Privacy Sandbox commitments report by CMA, Privacy Sandbox GAP analysis report, and many more cookieless topics. There has been a whole lot happening around cookieless in the last few years. However, as Chrome deprived the first batch of its users of third-party cookies, cookieless-related activity in MarTech intensified.

On top of that, we rebranded our regular publications of “Cookieless Newsroom” to better reflect our mission behind creating them. We sincerely hope they’ll help you stay informed in the ever-changing cookieless era.
