Firing Up The Privacy BS Detector

It's easy to turn cynical when your job involves writing about ad tech and privacy.Ad tech vendors and a growing crop of privacy tech companies pitch me constantly to offer their POVs and to brief me on the privacy-preserving features of whatever new product they're hyping at the moment.One vendor will hock its "highly predictive, privacy-safe" consumer data-powered proprietary AI neural network (really) while another touts its "privacy-compliant tech for CTV."
This makes me angry. As a marketer, I’ve wanted to collect consent for email pixel tracking way back to ePrivacy. Do any vendors support that? No. I’m looking at you MarTech. Now Apple takes it out of the marketer’s hands and that should be no surprise.
