Programmatic Retargeting (First-ID x DSP)
Secure your programmatic retargeting with Commanders Act + First-ID. Maintain your reach on the open web despite the end of third-party cookies and optimise your media performance.
1. The Problem: The collapse of programmatic targeting
The planned end of third-party cookies on all browsers breaks the bridge between your site (where interest is detected) and external advertising inventories (where the banner should be displayed).
Consequence: Without third-party cookies, your DSP becomes ‘blind’. Reach collapses and you can no longer retarget your prospects on their favourite media sites.
2. The Solution: A First-party ID shared with the ecosystem
The integration of First-ID into Commanders Act makes it possible to rebuild this bridge in a sustainable way:
Universal Identifier: First-ID generates a deterministic ID recognised by the main players in the market (DSP/SSP).
Targeting stability: Unlike third-party cookies, this identifier is persistent (up to 13 months) and is not blocked by browsers.
Seamless activation: Commanders Act transmits this identifier to advertising buying platforms to ensure that the ‘match’ occurs during real-time auctions.
3. Key benefits
Business continuity: Keep your retargeting campaigns active across 100% of your inventory, regardless of the browsers used by your targets.
Control over repetition: Thanks to a stable ID, you have better control over advertising pressure (capping) to avoid overexposing the same user.
Media performance: Ensure your messages are delivered to the right people, at the right time, on high-quality inventory.
4. How it works
Identification: The first-party ID is generated on your site via Commanders Act.
Synchronisation: This ID is shared securely with the programmatic ecosystem.
Recognition: When the user browses a media site, the DSP recognises them thanks to the first-party ID.
Display: Your personalised banner is displayed via a successful auction.
