Krzysztof Fiedorek

The year 2024 was set to bring a revolution to the advertising industry as Google announced the removal of cookies in the Chrome browser for millions of users, sparking the beginning of a cookie-free era. However, Google’s change of heart surprised the market. A report on this topic was prepared by analysts from ID5.

Advertising Without Cookies: Is the Industry Ready for a Digital Revolution?Bing AI illustration

A Sudden Shift: Google’s Decision to Retain Cookies


The surprise came in July 2024 when Anthony Chavez, Vice President of Privacy Sandbox, announced that Google would allow users to decide for themselves about blocking cookies. According to the "State of Digital Identity Report 2024", published by analysts from ID5, 63% of respondents believe the decision resulted from poor Privacy Sandbox testing, while 60% cite ongoing investigations by the UK’s CMA.

  • Google removed cookies for 34.5 million users, which is 1% of Chrome’s global user base.
  • 76% of respondents have already implemented cookie-free solutions.
  • 75% of respondents believe Google’s decision will not affect their shift to cookie-free alternatives.

Factor Percentage of Respondents
Poor Privacy Sandbox Test Results 63%
CMA Investigation 60%


Alternatives to Cookies: What Solutions is the Industry Choosing?


The report emphasizes that the removal of cookies could significantly impact publishers’ revenue. Criteo’s study forecasts that revenue could fall by 60% if Privacy Sandbox became the sole alternative. This is due in part to Privacy Sandbox causing ad delays of over 100%, negatively affecting user engagement.
According to the ID5 report, 85% of respondents already use universal identifiers to handle cookie-free traffic. These solutions, along with Deal IDs and first-party IDs, enable personalized and legally compliant ad campaigns, which is crucial in today’s evolving technology landscape.

Most Popular Alternatives:

  • Universal Identifiers: 85%
  • PMPs/Deal IDs with First-Party Data: 56%
  • Data Clean Rooms: 51%

Challenges in Other Channels: CTV, Mobile, Audio, and Gaming


Although much of the discussion has focused on cookies in browsers, the ID5 report shows that the user identification challenge goes beyond this space. The biggest challenge remains in Connected TV (CTV), where 79% of respondents believe users lack sufficient control over their data.

Channel Percentage of Respondents Citing Need for Better Addressability
Connected TV (CTV) 54%
Mobile/In-App 26%
Digital Audio 9%


Main Obstacles in CTV and Mobile Channels:

  • Measurement Challenges: Difficulty in accurately measuring campaigns.
  • Cross-Channel Reconciliation: Challenge in synchronizing data across channels.
  • User Consent: Difficulty in obtaining and communicating consent for tracking.

The Cookie-Free Future: Industry Expectations and Concerns


The advertising industry is at a crossroads, seeking solutions that are not only effective but also comply with privacy regulations. Amid uncertainty about when the new system in Chrome will take effect, 80% of respondents expect the option to opt-out of cookies to be introduced in the first half of 2025.
