How standards can solve data clean rooms’ interoperability issue

With the third-party cookie going away, advertisers, publishers, platforms and ad tech firms are looking for a new means of applying data to target ads to people and measure how those ads performed. And the data clean room has become among the most attractive options.

The proliferation of all these different clean rooms is where things start to get messy.
