The Third-Party Cookie Ban: Unlocking The Secrets Of First-Party Data [Podcast]

Third-party cookies are on the way out, but the deep data connection to your prospective audience isn’t completely gone.

First party cookies are now your golden ticket to an optimal user experience and higher conversions.

But how do you get your email subscribers to share their preferences with your brand?

How do you get the information you need to personalize their experience?

Anne Handley, Chief Content Officer at MarketingProfs and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, joins me on the SEJ Show to give you proven steps for collecting first-party cookies.

In this podcast, you’ll learn to connect with your audience, maintain relevant marketing campaigns, and grow your own audience to convert. Available on YoutubeAnd the Apple PodcastAnd the Google PodcastAnd the Spotifyor wherever you listen to it.

When I look at this cookie or the idea of ​​a post-cookie world, and when I look more holistically at what’s happening in digital marketing, I think we have an opportunity to not think of cookie death as death (in some ways, it’s because It is that we have lost this access to parts of the third party data) but actually to reframe it as an opportunity to restart our customer relationships. – Ann Handley, 25:32

Part of the reason I believe so strongly in email and whether or not it’s a post-cookie world is because it’s a massive opportunity to communicate directly with one person at a time. – Ann Handley, 24:08

You will reduce the amount of retargeting, remarketing, and data that third parties have about you, but first parties may be able to obtain.– Lauren Baker, 18:35

Instead of dealing with your marketing with this level of anxiety… if we do our work directly from a content and SEO point of view, it will eventually pay off in the long run. I think sometimes the reason short-term thinking happens is because we have this anxiety around it.– Ann Handley, 48:32
