TARGETING IN THE OPEN WEB
Target prospects and customers in the open internet, even when third-party cookies are no longer available. Across programatic and display.
Statista predicts that walled gardens in 2026 will take 82% of the worldwide digital ad revenue up from 67,7% in 2017 although users spend 67% of their time in the open internet.
Third-party cookie deprecation makes targeting on the open web more challenging.
Effective addressability and personalisation whilst ensuring privacy compliance is a major challenge for advertising solutions.
Here are some strategies for targeting in the open web:
Contextual
Targeting
Contextual targeting involves displaying ads based on the content of the web page or app in which they appear. Advertisers can use keywords, topics, and page context to align their ads with relevant content. This method doesn’t rely on any IDs but only works for limited use cases
Interest-Based Targeting (e.g., Google Topics API)
Interest-based targeting focuses on user behaviour and preferences. Google’s Topics API, for instance, allows advertisers to understand users’ interests based on their online behaviour and then serve them relevant ads. It only works for Chrome and does not help you to activate your first-party data.
Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting involves collecting various non-PII data points from a user’s device, such as device type, browser version, screen resolution, and time zone. These data points are combined to create a unique “fingerprint” for the device. The approach is probabilistic and highly questionable from a privacy perspective.
Universal IDs
Universal IDs, also known as cross-device or cross-channel IDs, are created by matching and linking user data across different devices and platforms, and are predominantly based on hashed emails. However, their reach is very limited.
Signal-based Solutions
Signal-based solutions make a secure API call to the user’s network operator, who provides a network signal that corresponds with the user’s connection. This method combines maximum reach with maximum data availability for best targeting results and cost-effectiveness.
At Teavaro we have partnered with Utiq to offer a privacy-first signal-based for effective targeting in the open web across devices, touchpoints, and publishers. In addition, we can integrate universal IDs into the ID Graph.

How does Utiq work
Requiring relevant brands and publishers to authenticate, or access user identities or their data. These secure signals work cross-browser and cross-device, offering accurate addressability at scale , whilst embracing the very toughest privacy standards.
With Teavaro deploy and optimise Utiq’s Authentic Consent Service.
Utiq's authentic consent service allows
retargeting in the open internet
This is possible through DSPs that offer the services on publisher inventory that participate in the Utiq service.
- Audiences can be created from profiles with associated martechpass. These audiences can then be activated through Teavaro's Utiq activator to participating DSPs in the programmatic ecosystem.
These activated audiences can be used for:
- Retargeting
- Building look-alike audiences
- In addition, you can personalise the retargeting messages based on the users' data (CRM…) based on your own ID-Graph.
Targeting in the open web with Utiq's authentic consent service and your own ID Graph provide major benefits.
