Publishers Face Costly Adaption to Privacy Rules

So, here's a dilemma. Enforcement of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) begins July 1 and Google has said it will phase out third-party cookies by 2022. That gives media organizations pretty concrete timetables to determine how they'll find a model that can emphasize its first-party data.

But it can be an expensive transition and scale is a problem, especially for small and local publishers. It's driving those media organizations to consider such things as working together to aggregate the first-party data they collect to achieve some sort of scale and help compete with platforms like Google, Facebook and Amazon. As the kids say, watch this space.
