Global digital advertising technical standards-setting body IAB Tech Lab announced the release of its Identity Solutions Guidance document, and invited comments from the public until November 4, 2023.
The Identity Solutions Guidance document is an informational guide that provides an overview of the prevalent techniques employed by different identity solutions; it explores the mechanics of how these identifiers work; reveals their value propositions and utility; and offers insight into what factors to consider when evaluating an identity solution.
“The Identity Solutions Guidance document is designed to demystify the rapidly evolving landscape of identity solutions,” said Shailley Singh, EVP – Product & COO, IAB Tech Lab. “As the industry grapples with the imminent deprecation of cookies and reduced availability of mobile identifiers, this guidance will equip industry stakeholders with the knowledge required to comprehend and evaluate various identity solutions, products, vendors, and their underlying technologies. We invite industry stakeholders to actively engage during the public comment period and contribute to the refinement of this important resource.”
“The digital advertising landscape continues to face questions about how identity solutions function and how they can thrive in the absence of traditional cookies and mobile identifiers,” said Giovanni Gardelli, VP, Ads Data Products, Yahoo. “The IAB Tech Lab is aiming to support the industry, offering a comprehensive guide that fills the education gap and offers strategic insight into the practical implementation of these solutions.”
