Search engine giant Google is hitting back at a report generated by IAB Tech Lab that criticized the company’s Privacy Sandbox.
The feature was called out for making it more difficult for the marketing industry to display effective ads and display smaller brands and media firms that were at a clear disadvantage as per a new study.
The company generated a new in-your-face response where it stated how the report had plenty of "misunderstandings" and was filled with "inaccuracies" that it certainly did not appreciate. Moreover, it was designed to ignore the main goal that centered around its Privacy Sandbox and that entailed bettering user privacy but still making room for the best kind of digital marketing available today.
The drawbacks of Privacy Sandbox were said to put companies working on a smaller scale at risk. It explored all kinds of alternative solutions that are worthwhile, ahead of the tech giant’s massive decision to retire cookies arising from third parties on its platforms.
But what does the latest report mention about this ordeal? Dubbed Fit Gap Analysis for Digital ads, the report stated in bold terms how Privacy Sandbox could reduce the company’s chance to roll out the most effective means of advertising strategies that put smaller media firms and leading brands at a serious disadvantageous position.
The requirements are very stringent and could throttle its chance to compete and further impact the growth taking place in the leading industry of today.
Googe further criticized this report cited all kinds of errors in the ordeal and generated a clarification on this front where it addressed four leading aspects. And we’re covering it for you below.
There were corrections done to assumptions that support the APIs found on Privacy Sandbox. In the same manner, it made use of cases that are not supported by the likes of cookies from third parties. Next, it gave out feedback having to do with recreating tracking that arose across different sites and hence went against goals that preserved privacy at all times. Last but not least, it had to do with addressing areas where a proper strategy was needed to ensure ad tech providers can better adapt to the latest tactics that are built over the leading Privacy Sandbox.
Despite making accusations regarding misinformation, the company says it would welcome new requests for features and suggestions regarding possible improvements.
