Cookies have long been an important tool to measure campaign performance and analytics. As third-party cookies are phased out in 2023 and first-party data becomes even more vital, it will be important for digital marketers across Idaho to understand the impacts of the changes and how to best adjust.
Visit Idaho, in conjunction with Madden Media and other valued partners, hosted a 5-part webinar series to explain the upcoming changes and strategies to adapt.
