By focusing on targets with deeper insights and displaying advertisements tailored to their specific characteristics, you can reach potential customers who are closer to becoming active prospects.
- Strategy Impact and Value

Identifying targets and personalizing experiences using cookies provides value across many aspects of B2B marketing.
Challenges of Cookie Utilization
While cookie-based B2B marketing is an effective strategy, several challenges and issues have been highlighted in recent years.
Compliance with Privacy Regulations
As an international trend, the strengthening of privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA has introduced strict rules regarding the collection and use of cookie data, making compliance and adherence to legal requirements a significant challenge.
Specifically, there is an increased demand for companies to disclose the reasons (purposes of use) and methods for data collection to users.
Data Security
Beyond preparing for data breaches caused by cyberattacks, companies are now required to disclose to users the potential risks associated with data collection.
If a company fails to provide sufficient transparency regarding the risks and mitigation strategies in exchange for the convenience provided, it may damage user trust.
Cookie Lifespan and Accuracy
Some cookies are deleted after a session ends, making long-term tracking difficult and complicating efforts to build long-term relationships with users.
Furthermore, when information is collected based on cookies across different devices or browsers, data inconsistency can occur, potentially reducing the accuracy of information used to form customer profiles.
Deprecation of Third-Party Cookies
Major platform operators, including Google, have signaled the end of third-party cookie support. This has brought significant transformation to the digital advertising industry, necessitating the exploration of new targeting methods.
Companies have begun exploring strategies to provide more valuable customer experiences than ever before, while simultaneously implementing measures for privacy protection and data security.
In digital marketing, there is a growing recognition that an approach that builds trust with users and respects their privacy is the key to success.
Specifically, there is increasing attention on acquiring data that reveals customer insights and context—linked to identifiers other than cookies or first-party data—and utilizing this for message delivery, including advertising.
