The Demise of Cookies and the Rise of Trust: How Blotout Handles Customer Data Differently

December 20, 2021

Why Data Privacy Is Now at the Center of Growth

GDPR, CCPA, and national privacy laws enshrined a new principle: data belongs to the consumer.

For too long, enterprises relied on third-party cookies and IDs without transparency. That era is ending.

  • Apple’s iOS 15 changes
  • The phase-out of third-party cookies

👉 Together, they force companies to rethink how they collect, process, and activate customer data.

Trust is no longer optional—it’s a business advantage. Companies that respect privacy and empower customers with transparency will win.

The Problem with Traditional Analytics Tools

Legacy analytics and marketing tools rely on third-party tracking and fragmented data silos, creating:

  • Data loss — Browser blocks and cookie resets wipe user history
  • Compliance risk — Unconsented third-party data transfers violate GDPR/CCPA
  • Weak relationships — Customers don’t trust brands that misuse their data

📈 The market demand for customer data platforms (CDPs) is surging, expected to reach $4.3B by 2027 (CAGR 24.5%).

But not all CDPs are built for privacy-first compliance.

  • Single-tenant infrastructure — Clients control their own data environment

  • Data never lost — Customers maintain ownership and control at all times

Why Compliance and Trust Matter

  • GDPR enforcement in the EU
  • California “Do Not Sell/Do Not Share” mandates
