Merkury enables marketers, media owners, and publishers to own, build, and control a cookie-less Private Identity Graph. Merkury uses an organization’s first-party CRM data and valuable interactions such as logins, outbound email campaigns and media reach to create and grow a universe of person-based IDs for cross-channel targeting, personalization, measurement and more.

In a post-cookie world, brands will need to build or rebuild a strong data foundation to compete and serve their customers. By investing in their customer intelligence with a data-agnostic approach, brands will be able to generate customer profiles with identity at the core, complete with customer attributes. This will allow for a full customer profile that is more than an identifier.

ID5 enables publishers and advertisers to create and distribute a shared 1st party identifier to the entire ecosystem to enable targeting, frequency capping and measurement in environments where 3rd party cookies and MAIDs are blocked. ID5’s privacy-by-design technology and encryption mechanism ensure that users’ privacy preferences are respected throughout the advertising value chain.

Building on the work of leading industry companies, IAB Tech Lab is collaborating across the ecosystem to evolve Unified ID 2.0 (UID2) as an open-source framework, based on stable IDs and with transparency and control to enable consumer privacy. UID2 is part of a portfolio of addressability standards and technologies that Tech Lab is developing with the Partnership for Responsible Addressable Media (PRAM).
