Abstract: The analytics industry is facing an unprecedented change in the methods and requirements for data collection. These changes are a result of increasing consumer expectations regarding the privacy of personal information and shifts in the regulatory and technological methods used to meet these expectations. In today’s privacy-first world, first-party data collection becomes more important than ever — while at the same time more difficult. This paper outlines core principles for first-party data collection in a privacy-focused world and offers tactical suggestions for future-proofing. These suggestions include methods to collect privacy-safe first-party and anonymous data, strategies to enable downstream integration, and ways to enforce data taxonomies, as well as compliance via a server-side data distribution approach.
