Prebid.org Incorporates The Trade Desk’s Unified ID Solution into Header Bidding Wrapper

Prebid.org today announced they’ve incorporated The Trade Desk’s unified
ID solution into their open-source toolkit as an optional module any
publisher can activate at their discretion. Prebid.org is an
industry-wide initiative supported by a diverse group of exchanges,
publishers and third-party developers dedicated to creating standardized
solutions for programmatic advertising. The unified
ID solution allows for increased coverage, more relevant advertising
and faster load times, which benefit all parties from advertisers to
consumers.

Adoption of the free unified ID solution allows all parties across the
supply chain (SSPs, DSPs, DMPs and data providers) to utilize The Trade
Desk’s cookie footprint to increase their own cookie coverage across the
global independent internet. Any current user of the Prebid platform can
update their code and begin to receive the unified ID solution in their
program.

“ID matching is a critical component of the buying and selling
ecosystem. The entire industry benefits by speaking the same cookie
identity language. The Trade Desk’s unified ID solution is one way for
publishers to standardize the cookie matching process and share cookie
identity as a common, community tool,” said Alexandra Smith, Chair of
Prebid.org. “By implementing these standards, we enhance the user
experience and bring together the open internet.”

“We applaud Prebid.org for adopting the unified ID solution into their
header bidder solution,” said Tim Sims, SVP of Inventory Partnerships,
The Trade Desk. “Header bidding represents nearly 80% of the publishing
industry, with Prebid representing thousands of publishers. The
widespread integration of the unified ID solution validates our
collective mission to improve the effectiveness of digital advertising.”

ID solution site.
