Preparing for Google Chrome’s Cookie Restrictions — Constantine Yurevich // SegmentStream

Constantine Yurevich, Founder and CEO of SegmentStream, talks about how you can prepare for the future of marketing. As third-party cookie deprecation draws closer, marketers and advertisers are looking for alternatives to traditional analytics to understand user behavior. While cookies will not be completely eliminated from browsers, the advertisers that do not have their own inventory, website, or the ability to track user first-party data will not be able to function effectively once the deprecation is completed. Today, Constantine discusses preparing for Google Chrome's cookie restrictions.

Show Notes

    Google Chrome's cookie restrictions
    While a lot of marketers think that cookies will disappear altogether, its just third-party cookies that will be deprecated. So, third-party cookies will no longer influence analytics as we know it currently.
  • 03:56
    How first
    First-party cookies help us to understand user behavior on our own websites and connect sessions to a particular user. Third-party cookies track user behavior across multiple websites and are created by parties other than the website owner.
  • 05:40
    Third
    Advertisers will see a decrease in performance and adtech companies without the ability to track user first-party cookies will be unable to function. Facebook and Google won't be able to track customer behavior across multiple websites as easily.

    Cookie deprecation on Safari vs Google Chrome
    In addition to blocking third-party cookies, Safaris ITP erases first-party cookies from the browser in one to seven days. When customers dont buy from the first click, theres no way to track the customer journey.

    Using cookies to understand marketing performance
    Cookies are an unreliable source in terms of enabling marketers to understand the customer journey across devices and browsers. So, that is the issue with cookies that marketers need to develop solutions for.

Quotes

  • "First-party cookie's main purpose is to allow you to understand and stitch together the customer journey between multiple visits, sessions, or even page views." -Constantine Yurevich, CEO, SegmentStream

  • "When someone comes to your website and visits multiple pages, the only way to understand that these two pages were viewed by the same user is to stitch it using cookies." -Constantine Yurevich, CEO, SegmentStream

  • "When third-party cookies are deprecated, adtech companies that do not have the ability to track users using first-party cookies will disappear and will not be able to function anymore." -Constantine Yurevich, CEO, SegmentStream
