As Chrome plans the deprecation of third-party cookies for early 2025, and the deadline is fast approaching, the AdTech ecosystem is in pressing need of a detailed plan of how the phase-out of third-party cookies will look. A clear schedule will help ensure efficient planning and coordination, allowing for a smooth transition to a stable, vibrant ad ecosystem based on Privacy Sandbox. To help achieve this clarity—and to initiate a wider discussion—in this blog post, we will propose what we believe is a viable next step after the 1% deprecation.

In early 2020, Google first announced its intention to retire third-party cookies from Chrome.

This development has marketers worried about the future of personalized and relevant advertising. The good news is they don’t need to be concerned. 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.
