Adobe unveils privacy solution

At this week’s Digital Marketing Summit in London, Adobe announced a privacy solution for digital advertisers and publishers to give consumers control over their onine data.

Adobe Systems this week announced enhancements to Adobe TagManager, creating a highly flexible privacy solution that helps digital advertisers and publishers give consumers notice and control over how their data is used online.

Announced at the Adobe Digital Marketing Summit EMEA in London, the solution will initially focus on managing third-party cookies used for behavioural advertising, a requirement of the ePrivacy Directive.

Having a flexible, rapidly deployable privacy solution is proving essential for digital advertisers to address privacy issues in an evolving landscape. This is especially true for global companies operating in multiple geographies. Adobe TagManager can help digital advertisers quickly and easily configure data collection practices by geography.

Utilising integrated technology from Evidon, a leading provider of privacy and compliance solutions for digital media, Adobe TagManager creates an end-user experience for managing behavioural advertising preferences. Additional benefits of using Adobe TagManager as a privacy solution include:

¬∑ Giving consumers control over data collected on the websites they visit where that data is used to personalise the advertising offers they are shown. With TagManager, digital advertisers and publishers can give consumers an easy way to opt out of receiving such ads on the advertiser’s or publisher’s websites.

· Configuring TagManager by domain and geography to help provide digital advertisers and publishers with customised privacy controls by region.

· Adapting to the changing privacy landscape with the ability to modify notice and consent mechanisms on the fly. This can be done by the digital advertiser or publisher or it can be done centrally, saving companies the time and expense of managing it themselves.

· Deploying immediately using existing SiteCatalyst tags without having to update any page code, greatly reducing the time and resources needed to deploy an advanced privacy and tag management solution.

Many websites includes tags (a small piece of code, usually JavaScript) used to capture anonymous audience data. These tags come from various marketing and advertising technologies, such as ad networks or exchanges, used by the website. Managing these tags on each Web page can quickly become overwhelming. Making changes to these tags, including adding or removing them, can also become a time- and resource-intensive project.

Adobe TagManager is an enterprise-class tag management solution that leverages Adobe’s scale and expertise capturing more than six trillion transactions annually for many of the world’s largest marketers. Adobe TagManager houses tags from solutions within the Adobe Digital Marketing Suite as well as third-party, tag-based marketing and advertising technologies. This approach facilitates the rapid deployment, removal and governance of these technologies, eliminating the need to make changes to the code on each page. Additionally, TagManager has been purposefully designed to uphold strict corporate requirements around business-critical digital data collection and management.
