- As the digital advertising industry moves into a cookie-less future, browser vendors and ad-tech companies are trying to work together through web standards bodies to develop new, PET-based solutions to attribution measurement that do not entail tracking.

Ben Savage will present on the learnings from their test pilot of IPA through the IMDA PET Sandbox, including the regulatory clarifications on the interplay between such privacy-preserving APIs and consent.
