DAC begins a digital advertising targeting service using AudienceOne® ID,
a post-cookie ID technology

Tokyo, May 17, 2022 --- D.A.Consortium Inc. (DAC) is pleased to announce that it will begin using AudienceOne® ID(*1), an integrated ID technology for digital advertising targeting services on AudienceOne®, a DMP developed and provided by DAC. With Google browser third-party cookie restrictions expected to be implemented in 2023, this service will help advertisers, media companies and solution vendors continue to deliver ads effectively.


With the rising demand for web-based user privacy protection, countries around the world are formulating laws and regulations related to data gathering and utilization. In addition, companies are placing technical restrictions on browsers and devices. For example, Apple uses ITP(*2) to block cookies on the web browser Safari and Google™ is expected to block third-party cookies on its web browser Google Chrome™(*3). With increasingly strict restrictions on the use of cookies for targeted ads and ad effect measurement, there is a pressing need to develop post-cookie era alternative technologies and ad effect systems for the future of digital marketing.

To respond to these changes, in April 2022, DAC began providing WISE Transformer(*4), a first-party data utilization system that enables ad effect measurement in a post-cookie era. For audience data utilization, in January 2021, DAC developed an integrated ID technology for its DMP, AudienceOne. Now, DAC has started an integrated ID technology service called AudienceOne ID to use for digital ad targeting.


Aim of the service
The service aims to resolve issues related to utilizing and monetizing data for advertising.

Advertisers / Ad agencies / DSP and other solution vendors
Retargeting ads, interest-based ads and other types of targeting ad methods that are highly dependent on third-party cookies will continue to be employable even after restrictions are in place for efficient and effective digital promotional initiatives.

Media companies
In addition to enabling advertisers, ad agencies, DSP and others to buy retargeting and interest-based ad space, companies will be able to plan and sell ad and other products using in-house audience data even after third-party cookie restrictions are in place for ongoing effective sales and product development.


With the protection of sei-katsu-sha* privacy foremost in mind, DAC will actively promote the development of solutions and the enhancement of functions to support our client companies’ digital marketing activities and data utilization.
(*sei-katsu-sha: a term Hakuhodo uses to denote people with lives, aspirations and dreams, not simply “consumers”)
