Adapting to Chrome's Cookieless Future: The Reticle AI Advantage

Tricia Allen

February 16, 2024

In the fast-paced world of digital advertising, major players like Google are steering towards a cookieless future. Chrome's recent rollout of Tracking Protection, limiting third-party cookies by default, is a game-changer for marketers relying heavily on these cookies for targeted ads.

The Countdown Begins: Google's Move Away from Third-Party Cookies

Google is officially phasing out third-party cookies, with Tracking Protection gradually reaching Chrome users worldwide. Starting at 1% of users from January 4, 2024, the plan is to hit 100% by Q3 2024, pending any UK Competition and Markets Authority concerns.

Reticle AI: Always Cookieless, Always Contextual

Unlike many reacting to the cookie deprecation, Reticle AI has been cookieless from the start. It's not a strategic shift; it's our core belief. We thrive on the notion that emotion enhances engagement and attention, and believe in making the most optimal consumer experience that doesn’t rely on invasive data collection.

Why Cookieless Matters at Reticle AI:

  • No Personal Data Dependency: Our contextual ads don't need personal data. We analyze website content and emotional signals for effective targeting.
  • Context Without Cookies: Cookieless doesn't mean losing context. Reticle uses content analysis for a contextual and emotionally aligned approach.
  • Setting the Standard: Reticle AI isn't adapting; it's setting the standard. Our model, built without cookie reliance, ensures a brand optimal experience that audiences are receptive.  This is proven by the 10-20% increases in attention our clients see when Reticle is utilized.

Preparing for Tomorrow:

As third-party cookies face extinction, marketers need new tactics. Reticle AI's approach remains unwavering amidst Google's move towards a cookieless era, offering contextual advertising without compromising efficiency.

100 pitches, 99 no’s: Why we keep coming back for more

Let’s set the record straight: if we really heard 99 “no’s,” we wouldn’t still be in business.

The problem isn't that brands keep rejecting our pitches -- it's that there's a disconnect between what the brands say they value and want, versus the reality of how they actually make their decisions.
