Our take

Glimpse Protocol has anticipated the shift away from cookieless advertising by designing ways in which ads can remain targeted without interfering with consumer privacy.

The digital advertising space has famously had problems with data protection in the past, and consumers have increasingly felt unsafe in relation to the way their data is processed over the internet.

Glimpse Protocol has met this problem by employing two types of end-to-end cryptography, meaning ads can remain targeted and user data can stay secure. This elegant solution meets the needs of all parties.

The implications for this are considerable. Safe, cookieless advertising is here to stay, especially after reforms such as GDPR in Britain as well as the passage of data security laws across the world. Glimpse Protocol's technology has therefore proved relevant to the advertising marketplace of tomorrow.
