Best Technology for Retailers

Live Ramp

As third-party cookies slowly disappear from the web, brands are in a difficult position when it comes to understanding their audience and personalising their journey. This is why the retail media channel has been heating up as of late, as many retailers are sitting on a gold mine of first-party data that brands are eager to get a slice of.

However, data-sharing can be a tricky process due to both privacy regulations, and business sense – you don’t want to just equip your competitors with purchase intelligence.

LiveRamp’s Safe Haven is the solution to this quandary, allowing retailers to capitalise on their consumer data assets in a safe and secure way. The technology unifies online and offline data, so it can be made available to partners via a neutral, privacy-safe GDPR-compliant platform in which data is pseudonymised and access is permissioned at a granular level.
