31. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
31
COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that collect certain pieces of information
about online users. Each time a user visits a new website, cookies are
created by the Internet browser and saved onto the user’s computer.
When that user returns to the website, the cookies will help it to
remember certain things, such as what content the user viewed and
which pages they accessed.
FIRST-PARTY COOKIES
First-party cookies are created by the websites we visit directly.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Third-party cookies, also referred to as tracking cookies, are collected
not by the website, but by advertisers.
DMP 101

32. FROM COOKIES TO USER IDS
USER IDs
Cookies can perform a vast number of functions, however, they
are restricted in size. In order to address this issue, some cookies
now only contain a unique ID. By storing a cookie with a unique ID
on the user’s computer, advertisers and other companies can then
store the rest of the information about the user on their own
systems.
COOKIE SYNCING
Cookies are domain specific, which means those created by one
third-party tracker (e.g. lotame.com) cannot be read by another
third-party tracker (e.g. appnexus.com). For advertisers, this
restricts the potential amount of information they can collect
about a user. Therefore, in order to accurately target an
audience, advertisers need to incorporate user data from various
domains and sources. Advertisers are able to achieve this by
mapping user IDs from one system to another.
Example of how different advertising
platforms map and sync cookies.
DMP 101

33. COLLECTING USER INFORMATION & MATCHING
33
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BROWSER
1. A user visits a website that contains an ad.
2. The browser sends an ad request to an ad exchange.
3. The ad exchange sends back the request and creates
a (third-party) cookie.
4. The ad exchange redirects (http redirect) the ad
request to the pixel URL on the DMP’s side, passing the user ID in the URL parameter.
The DMP reads its own cookie, or creates a new cookie, and then saves the user ID
passed from the ad exchange along with its own user ID in the so-called cookie-
matching table.
5. If the sync is bidirectional, the DMP makes the redirect back to the ad exchange,
passing its own ID in the URL parameter. The ad exchange receives this request, reads
its own cookie, and stores the DMP ID along with its own ID in the cookie-matching
table.
6. Now, both the ad exchange and DMP have each other’s’ user IDs in each other’s
databases.
