PhD research
Advertising as the third-party cookie crumbles: A theoretical investigation and validation of big data as defacto data brokers in data markets.
As the value of personal data becomes more widely recognised, so does the desire to reward the users for the use of their personal information. Ijeoma's research proposes a market model where data users procure personal data from data owners via a privacy secure marketplace. This model which proposes big tech as defacto data brokers acting as market managers between the data owners and data buyers is a first of its kind which aims to propose these databases as an alternative to utilizing third-party cookies which has been weakened in recent times by big tech companies such as Google, Firefox and Safari phasing them out; A move which has weakened the viability of third-party cookies which many publishers rely on to carry out programmatic advertising.
