This acquisition will level the playing field for publishers by providing them with the tools to engage with users on data and privacy, as well as complete visibility into any hidden activity on their properties that exposes them to privacy and revenue risks. For brands, the acquisition of RedBud will help them create a comprehensive repository of every data processing instance across different user touchpoints, such as cookies, trackers, or fingerprinting. The technology highlights privacy blind spots for advertisers and how they can be fixed. The insights into both privacy compliance and performance issues, coupled with a customizable technology solution that resolves compliance issues for publishers and brands, will enable enhanced monetization and a more sustainable ecosystem.
