Why?
Cookies are going away, but The Trade Desk has a solution, which is called Unified ID 2.0. This is an open source framework that uses encrypted email addresses and discloses the benefits to the consumers. TTD claims greater control for users and their personal data. TTD also claims greater transparency. Once opted in, advertisers can personalize the experience to the users, Unified ID 2.0. could be better than cookies, although it could fail, and it is a risk. I think it's misunderstood and blown out of proportion; however, the market hates uncertainty.
