    Media buying strategy in a cookieless world

    The impact of third party cookie deprecation on inventory pricing
    Prices for cookied inventory will rise due to scarcity, while a larger portion of lower-priced, cookieless inventory becomes available. This creates a less competitive market for quality impressions in the cookieless space, with higher win rates compared to cookie-based bidding.
