Leading global video advertising platform fully integrates open source identity solution, joining development with The Trade Desk and others
SpotX, the leading global video advertising platform, today announced it is integrating the Unified ID 2.0 solution, an open source and interoperable ID framework designed to improve relevant advertising while protecting consumer privacy and transparency without relying on third-party cookies.
The solution upgrades identification standards by using encrypted and hashed email addresses, allowing consumers to easily manage how their personal data is both collected through a single sign-on solution with participating websites, which also includes an opt-out option. By leveraging Unified ID 2.0, media owners working with SpotX will gain more control of their proprietary data, build trust with consumers, and generate higher CPMs. Similarly, advertisers and demand-side platforms (DSPs) will have a more holistic view of their customers and the ability to leverage audience data more efficiently to ultimately drive higher campaign performance.
