Standards

IAB Ireland, as part of the global IAB network believes in an ad funded internet. IAB standards are informed by principles and rules to promote sustainable and responsible digital marketing & advertisingOur aim is to help brands reach their audiences and to provide revenue to publishers so they can continue to make their content, services and applications widely available.

IAB’s global initiatives are designed to both improve user experience of digital advertising whilst also protecting the digital advertising ecosystem from ad fraud.

USER ID STANDARDS POST THIRD PARTY COOKIE

As we approach the decommissioning of third party cookies our industry is collaborating in new addressability solutions.

Project REARC was launched by IAB Tech Lab in Q1 2020 to spur collaboration to develop privacy-centric solutions supporting addressability in advertising, given the changes to third-party cookies and other identifiers. REARC is focused on the development of Accountability and Addressability solutions through cross industry collaboration.
