For the eighth episode of Nordic Ad Tech Review, we dedicate a full episode to data. We speak to data expert Patrick Glantz the COO of Gravito to explain a jargon-filled aspect of ad tech. From different storage options, to acronyms like CIAM, IAM etc. We also get some insights on what Gravito is doing in the Finnish market right now specifically.

It also features myself and our COO Rebecka Sjöström - Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Soundcloud.

Storage possibilities

Third Party Cookies vs. First Party Cookies
3rd party cookies now work only on Google Chrome. Currently the decision to sunset them in Chrome is delayed until 2024 by Google. 3rd Party cookies are blocked in other browsers like Safari, Firefox , Brave etc.
First party cookies are of two types: Client-side and Server-side.
Client-side cookies if used for tracking will disappear in Safari in 2 to 7 days.
Server-side cookies will stay unless the user clears the cache

Cookies generally have a low size limitation(5KB). Too many large cookies can also cause problems in loading your webpage.
