dunnhumby powered Tesco Media and Insight Platform extends tie up with AdTech firm The Trade Desk

Tesco Media and Insight Platform, powered by dunnhumby, has extended its partnership with The Trade Desk to give advertisers direct access to anonymised audience segments on the platform.

This means brands can plan and execute their campaigns without solely relying on third-party cookies for the first time.

Tash Whitmey, Group Managing Director at Tesco Media and Insight Platform, comments: “This is a very exciting next step in our partnership with The Trade Desk and a major milestone in an ever increasing privacy centric world.”

“Although third-party cookies will now not be deprecated on Google’s Chrome browser, more stringent privacy controls will be put in place. Therefore, we believe the way forward is still cookieless and with The Trade Desk we are truly staying ahead of the curve in protecting customer’s data, while still delighting them with relevant advertising when they are browsing online.”
