IAB Tech Lab Introduces "ID-Less Solutions Guidance" for Public Comment
Resource Offers Practical Frameworks for ID-Less Advertising; Open for Feedback Through December 19, 2024
NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IAB Tech Lab, the global digital advertising technical standards-setting body, announced today the release of its "ID-Less Solutions Guidance" document, now open for public comment until December 19, 2024. This resource is designed to help advertisers and publishers adapt to the growing limitations of traditional identifiers, such as third-party cookies and device-based IDs, by providing clear frameworks and actionable insights.
"We're entering a new phase where the rules of addressability have fundamentally changed," said Shailley Singh, Executive Vice President, Product, and COO at IAB Tech Lab. "This guidance provides the clarity and tools needed to make thoughtful, effective decisions in environments where an ID is not available."
Developed by the Addressability and Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) working group, the document tackles widespread confusion surrounding ID-less solutions. It offers clear distinctions between traditional and ID-less approaches, outlines key use cases, and provides a roadmap for stakeholders to evaluate emerging technologies.
Equipping the Industry for What's Next
The guidance document highlights the functional and technical capabilities of ID-less solutions and frames them within the broader context of privacy and addressability. It's an essential tool for product managers, advertisers, and publishers navigating this paradigm shift.
"ID-Less is evolving quickly and is often misunderstood as purely contextual," said Chris Watts, Co-founder and CTO, NumberEight. "This guide explains current and future tools for a variety of use cases across targeting, measurement, and more, helping advertisers and publishers develop robust monetization strategies amid signal loss."
The "ID-Less Solutions Guidance" represents IAB Tech Lab's commitment to advancing practical, privacy-conscious solutions for the digital advertising ecosystem. Stakeholders are invited to review the "ID-Less Solutions Guidance", open until December 19, 2024, and provide feedback during the public comment period.
