Please check our full blog post for a complete transcript, including links and references.
Maciej Zawadziński is an AdTech and MarTech expert, founder of several successful companies and online privacy rights advocate. Striving towards more conscious data use and a healthier digital advertising ecosystem, Maciej is currently devoting his knowledge and skills to developing Piwik PRO – a privacy-focused analytics platform, the perfect alternative to Google Analytics.
We have debated the immediate consequences of recent developments concerning the use of Google Analytics in the European Union, as well as other important topics for Marketing Technology and Digital Analytics professionals: valid consent, sample sizes, the avoidance of cookie banners altogether, and the future of data-driven marketing.

M Celine Takatsuno is our most recent addition to the PrivacyCloud team. We have asked her to help us understand the current status of the various business models falling under the umbrella of a set of principles that the MyData Global organization has come to embody: human-centric control of personal data, individual empowerment, transparency, interoperability, etc.
More specifically, we have gone through the same list I had put together in a 2019 article, “MyData Business Models”: Privacy Enhancement Tools, User Rights Management platforms, Self-Sovereign Identity tools, Personal Data Stores, Brand Relationship Management tools, Declared Data Platforms, Attention Management and survey-based market research tools, and Personal Data Marketplaces.
Celine’s been working in data, technology, and privacy spaces for more than a decade.
Before joining us at PrivacyCloud, she was working on a couple of personal data projects, one in healthcare and one in e-commerce.
She’s founded three startups, consulted with a dozen more in media, marketing, and ‘tech for good’, and early on, led business and strategy teams for industry pioneers like Commission Junction.

As an answer to the obvious legal challenges of ID-based, cross-media deduplication (currently greater than those faced by third-party cookies), Google Chrome’s Privacy Sandbox, and its related W3C Working Group, provides a framework for advertisers and publishers to leverage a browser-level interest graph while preserving anonymity, through the use of aggregate data and minimum audience thresholds. As key drawbacks, there is little control on the consumer side, and local storage could result in data leaks when coexisting with either shared-identity, third-party cookies, and platform-specific IDs or walled gardens.
We will address these and other issues from a legal perspective (ePrivacy + GDPR, mostly), and your humble host (Sergio Maldonado) will be on his own for this particular mission.
