Perion Announces Adoption of Unified ID 2.0 Powered by The Trade Desk to Bridge First-Party Data and Omnichannel Scale

Perion Network Ltd. , a leader in advanced technology solving for the complexities of modern advertising, announced its adoption of Unified ID 2.0 (UID2). The identifier allows advertisers to target the right audiences effectively across devices without compromising user trust. Powering the tool through global advertising technology leader The Trade Desk, Perion’s adoption of UID2 emphasizes the Perion One strategy and reinforces our commitment to simplifying digital marketing, enhancing advertising effectiveness, and prioritizing user needs.

UID2 converts first-party data, such as an email or mobile number, into a hashed and salted identifier. This protects personally identifiable information (PII) while enabling effective and personalized programmatic advertising. As privacy regulations evolve, this solution empowers publishers, advertisers, and digital advertising platforms to harness first-party data, enabling authenticated audience targeting and precise campaign measurement.

It also ensures future readiness in adapting to the challenges of an uncertain cookieless world, while fostering collaboration with industry leaders through UID2’s open-source framework.
