Brewing clarity: A café guide to AdTech jargon

Published: September 23, 2025 by Brandon Alford, Group Product Manager

At A Glance

AdTech can feel overwhelming with all its jargon, but we're breaking it down café-style. From first-party data and identity resolution to clean rooms and ID-free targeting, this guide breaks down the essential terms marketers need to know.

If you’ve ever sat in a meeting and heard an AdTech term you didn’t understand, you’re not alone. The industry evolves as quickly as a café turns over tables on a busy weekend. Even seasoned regulars can get tripped up by the jargon.

So instead of scratching your head over the “menu,” let’s walk through some of the most common terms: served café-style.

The ingredients: The many flavors of first-party data

Every meal starts with ingredients, and in AdTech, those ingredients are data. First-party data is not just one thing: it’s more like everything your favorite neighborhood café knows about you.

The ingredients of AdTech: first-party data (shown as eggs), permissioned data (shown as bread), first-party cookies (shown as butter)

First-party data

The café knows your coffee preferences because you’ve told them directly; whether by ordering at the counter, calling in, or placing an order online. This is information you’ve willingly provided through your interactions, and it belongs only to that café.

First-party cookies

The barista writes down your preferences in a notebook behind the counter, so next time you walk in, they don’t have to ask. First-party cookies remember details to make your experience smoother, but only for that café.

Authenticated identity

A loyalty app that connects online orders to in-person visits. By logging in, you’re saying, “Yes, it’s really me.” Authenticated identity is proof that the customer isn’t just a face in line, but someone with a verified profile.

Persistent identity

Recognizing you whether you order through the app or in person. Persistent identity enables the ability to keep track of someone across different touchpoints, consistently, without confusing them with someone else.

Permissioned data

Agreeing to join the loyalty program and get emails. Permissioned data is a connection to the customer that the customer proactively shared with the café by signing up for their loyalty program or email newsletter.

Each piece comes from direct interactions, stored and used in different ways. That’s what makes first-party data nuanced. The saga of third-party cookie deprecation and changing privacy regulations makes it important to understand which types of data you can collect and use for marketing purposes.

And once you have those ingredients, the next step is making sure you recognize how they fit together, so you can see each customer clearly. That’s where identity resolution comes in.

The recipe: Bringing the ingredients together with identity resolution

At the café, identity resolution is what helps the staff recognize you as the same customer across every interaction. Without it, they might think you’re two different people; one who always orders breakfast and another who sometimes picks up pastries to go.

Matching

The café has a loyalty program, and the pet bakery next door has one too. When they match records across their two data sets, they realize “M. Jones” from the café is the same person as “Michelle Jones” from the bakery. That connection means they can activate a joint promotion, like free coffee with a dog treat, without either business handing over their full customer lists. In marketing, matching works the same way, linking records across data sets for activation so campaigns reach the right people.

Two receipts that represent the same customer: M. Jones and Michelle Jones

Deduplication

Collapses duplicate profiles into a single, clean record, so you don’t get two birthday coupons, even though that would be nice to get.

That’s what Experian does at scale: we connect billions of IDs in a privacy-safe way, so you can get an accurate picture of your audience.

And once you can recognize your customers across touchpoints, the next challenge is collaborating across systems and partners for deeper insights. That’s where the behind-the-counter processes come in.

Behind the counter: Crosswalks and clean rooms

At a café, these terms are like the behind-the-counter processes that keep everything running smoothly. They may sound technical, but they all serve the same purpose: helping data collaborate across different sources, while keeping sensitive information safe. The goal is a better “meal” for the customer, deeper insights, better targeting, and more personalized campaigns. Here’s how they work.

Crosswalks

The café partners with the pet bakery next door. They both serve a lot of the same people, but they track them differently. With a crosswalk, they can use a shared key to recognize the same customer across both businesses, so you get a coffee refill, and your dog gets a treat, without either one handing over their full customer list. A crosswalk is the shared system that lets both know it is really you, without swapping personal details. It’s the bridge connecting two silos of data.

Clean rooms

The café and the pet bakery want to learn more about their shared customers, like whether dog owners are more likely to stop by for brunch on weekends. Instead of swapping their full records, they bring their data into another café’s private back room, a clean room, where they can compare trends safely and privately. Both get useful insights, while customer details stay protected. That’s a clean room: secure collaboration without exposing sensitive data.

Of course, sharing and protecting data is only part of the picture. The real test comes when you need to serve customers in new ways, especially as the industry moves beyond cookies.

Serving customers in new ways: Cookie-free to ID-free

Targeting has evolved beyond cookies, just like cafés no longer rely only on notebooks to remember regulars.

ID-free targeting

The café looks at ordering patterns, like cappuccinos selling on Mondays and croissants on Fridays, without tracking who’s ordering what. Instead of focusing on who the customer is, the café tailors choices based on the context of the situation, like time of day or day of the week. This is like contextual targeting, serving ads based on the environment or behavior in the moment, rather than on personal identity.

On the left, a waiter takes an order from a customer, with a notepad that is crossed out. On the right, a waiter shows the customer the weekly specials, cappuccinos on Monday and croissants on Friday.

ID-agnostic targeting

The café realizes customers show up in all sorts of ways: walk in, online ordering, delivery. Each channel has its own “ID,” a name on the app, a credit card, or a loyalty profile. ID-agnostic targeting means no matter how you order, the café can still serve you without being locked into one system.

Just like cafés no longer rely only on notebooks to keep track of regulars, marketers no longer have to depend solely on cookies. Today, there are multiple paths, cookie-free, ID-free, and ID-agnostic, that can all help deliver better, more relevant experiences.

But even with new ways to reach people, one big question remains: how do you know if it’s actually working? That’s where measurement and outcomes come into play.

Counting tables vs. counting sales

At the café, measurement and outcomes aren’t the same.

Measurement

Tables filled, cups poured, specials ordered.

Outcomes

What it all means: higher revenue, more loyalty sign-ups, or increased sales from a new promotion.

Both matter. Measurement shows whether the café is running smoothly, but outcomes prove whether the promotions and strategies are truly paying off. Together, they help connect day-to-day activity to long-term success.

All of this brings us back to the bigger picture: understanding the menu well enough to enjoy the meal.

From menu to meal

In AdTech, there will always be new terms coming onto the menu. What matters most is understanding them well enough to know how they help you reach your business goals. Just like at the café, asking a question about the specials isn’t foolish. It’s how you make sure you get exactly what you want. The more we, as an industry, understand the “ingredients” of data and identity, the better we can cook up new solutions that serve both brands and consumers. After all, the goal isn’t just to talk about the menu, it’s to enjoy the meal.

At Experian, we help brands turn that menu into action. From identity resolution to privacy-safe data collaboration, our solutions make it easier to connect with audiences, activate campaigns, and measure real outcomes.

If you’re ready to move from decoding the jargon to delivering better customer experiences, we’re here to help

AdTech jargon FAQs

What is first-party data, and why is it important?

First-party data is information a customer shares directly with a brand, like purchase history, preferences, or sign-ups. It’s the most valuable and privacy-safe data marketers can use to build personalized campaigns.

How do identity resolution and matching work in marketing?

Identity resolution ensures a brand can recognize the same customer across different touchpoints. Matching links records across data sets (e.g., between partners) so campaigns reach the right people without exposing full customer lists.

What’s the difference between a crosswalk and a clean room?

A crosswalk bridges two data systems with a shared key to recognize the same customer, while a clean room allows partners to analyze data together securely without exposing sensitive details.

What does “cookie-free” or “ID-free” targeting mean?

Cookie-free and ID-free targeting shift focus away from tracking individuals, instead tailoring ads based on context (like time of day or content being viewed) or allowing flexibility across multiple IDs.

How is measurement different from outcomes?

Measurement tracks activity (like clicks or visits), while outcomes prove business impact (like sales, loyalty, or revenue). Both are essential, but outcomes show whether strategies are truly effective.

How does Experian help marketers with these AdTech challenges?

Experian provides tools for identity resolution, privacy-safe data collaboration, and campaign measurement, helping marketers move from understanding the “menu” of AdTech terms to achieving real results.

Hedged gardens: The future of advertising

The concept of the "hedged garden" is gaining traction in the AdTech space as a promising new approach. It offers a more controlled and protected environment for advertisers, reshaping how digital advertising operates. But what exactly is a hedged garden, and could it be the solution we've been looking for?  Let's dive into the details and explore its implications. Walled gardens vs. the open web Walled gardens continue to disrupt the advertising industry to stay relevant. Google, Meta (Facebook), and Amazon, the largest walled gardens, offer consumer privacy and rich first-party data to advertisers. But, time spent within these platforms, Google and Meta specifically, continues to decrease. Open web: Pros and cons On the other hand, the open web allows for more transparency, scale, and constant diversification. Yet, this has not led to increased spending. As a result, the open web continues to lag behind walled gardens. With a heavy reliance on third-party data and growing concerns over signal loss, the open web faces significant challenges. Under these circumstances, advertisers turn to easy activation channels like walled gardens, even as they become less effective to marketers.  Consumers are increasingly focused on privacy, pushing the industry toward alternatives to third-party cookies. As Google rethinks its cookie deprecation plans, channels like connected TV (CTV) and mobile apps, which don't rely on cookies, are gaining traction.  “A significant portion of web traffic does not support cookies today — and that number will grow as Google rolls out [its] new solution. This means that the industry shouldn't slow down investments in cookieless solutions, including alternative IDs, first-party data and data-driven contextual targeting.”kimberly gilberti, general manager, experian This shift emphasizes first-party data and user choice as a potential solution that balances privacy with effective advertising sources. Enter the hedged garden So, what is a hedged garden? The “hedged garden” is a new industry concept where a network of publishers works together to activate first-party data sets in a privacy-compliant way across many partners at scale. These publishers run their businesses with large amounts of first-party consumer data. But they are not big enough on their own. What does a hedged garden look like? Hedges are more permeable and not as tall as walls. This idea is key to the success of the hedged garden. Data protection and privacy regulations As hedged gardens grow, staying compliant with privacy laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is vital. These rules focus on protecting user data by requiring clear consent and transparency. Hedged gardens help publishers share first-party data in a safe, privacy-compliant way.  By working together, they ensure data is used responsibly, aligning with strict privacy regulations. This not only keeps marketers compliant but also builds trust with consumers at a time when data protection is more important than ever. Opportunities for marketers in hedged gardens Hedged gardens offer unique opportunities for marketers to enhance their strategies. Unlike walled gardens, hedged gardens offer the ability to work with a wider array of data sources and provide more diverse insights into audience behavior. This flexibility lets marketers develop more tailored, cross-platform campaigns that reach users in different ways.  Additionally, hedge gardens encourage collaboration with multiple partners, allowing for new partnerships and innovative strategies. With data from several sources, marketers can create more precise and privacy-compliant targeting methods to deliver better results. With the right approach, hedged gardens give marketers the freedom to break away from restrictive ecosystems and drive creative and impactful growth.  How Experian navigates through hedged gardens As our ecosystem moves toward a hedged garden solution, how do we get involved? We are already a key ingredient for this type of solution within the TV landscape. Below, we walk through how we partner with one of our current TV media clients.   Organize our client’s data and provide a Living Unit ID (LUID) First, we work with our client to clean and enhance their data, matching individual personal identifiable information (PII), such as an email address, to a household through a LUID. Our Digital Graph, which includes hashed emails (HEMs), cookies, mobile ad IDs (MAIDs), IPs, universal IDs, and CTV IDs, is rebuilt weekly to create accurate, refreshed connections. This consistent linkage creates precise targeting and measurement over time.  Our interconnected Offline and Digital Graphs organize identity into households and devices, enriched with marketing data for deeper insights and better addressability. With partnerships across major platforms, we improve match rates, helping you activate audiences seamlessly for optimal reach and measurement.  Enrich data through Experian Marketing Data Next, our TV media client licenses our Marketing Attributes. This data is the most comprehensive resource for both traditional and digital marketing campaigns. With its multi-channel availability and addressable capabilities, our Marketing Attributes allow our clients to develop insights and build audiences based on a wide range of attributes within their segment set, ensuring they reach relevant audiences across all channels. Activate audiences across the ecosystem Finally, we help our client execute their audiences across the full digital and TV ecosystem. We enable the connection that allows these audiences to be activated by matching partner LUIDs (example: LUID123 =  LUIDABC). By using client-specific LUIDs to match up data in a privacy-first manner, we can continue to build strong partnerships within the fast-growing ecosystem. Are hedged gardens the future of advertising? Have we found the perfect bridge between walled gardens and the open web? We’re hedging our bets. Our vote is yes, but only time will tell.  The future of advertising is shifting, and hedged gardens appear to be a promising model that balances the scale of walled gardens with the flexibility of the open web. We’re using what we learned from the TV industry to support other hedged garden verticals (retail media networks, audio, and gaming). Now that we know what a hedged garden is, we should consider what the future holds for both walled and hedged gardens.  What’s next for walled gardens  Increased privacy regulations: Walled gardens will face stricter regulations on data use, pushing them to adapt for compliance and trust. Reduced market dominance: As advertisers want more control, reliance on walled gardens could decline, shifting focus to hedged gardens. Diversified ad spend: Brands may spread their budgets across multiple platforms instead of being locked into walled gardens. The future of hedged gardens  Greater industry collaboration: Expect more publishers and platforms to join forces in hedged gardens for better data activation. Expansion into new channels: Hedged gardens will expand into emerging channels like gaming and connected devices. Improved data integration: Privacy-first data sharing in hedged gardens will lead to smoother, more secure ad targeting. Data collaboration in a post-cookie world As signal loss becomes a growing concern, the need for secure, privacy-first data collaboration will rise. Hedged gardens offer a pathway forward, allowing advertisers to activate first-party data across multiple partners while complying with data regulations.  This is where Experian Collaboration shines. By enabling data sharing without exposing raw consumer data, clients and partners can collaborate at Experian in their own environment or in clean rooms. Each of these environments allows partners to exchange data and gain insights without compromising privacy. Maximize your advertising reach with Experian As the advertising landscape changes, one thing remains clear: successful campaigns will require flexible, privacy-first solutions. At Experian, we are at the forefront of this shift. With our data expertise and advanced collaboration solutions, we’re here to help you navigate through both walled and hedged gardens to maximize your advertising reach. Together, we can navigate across the walled and hedged garden ecosystems. Contact us to learn how. Contact us Latest posts

Adapting to life without Oracle

Originally appeared on Adweek The advertising industry is experiencing a significant shift resulting from Oracle's market exit. Over the years, Oracle’s advertising tools—built through key acquisitions like Crosswise, BlueKai, Datalogix, and Grapeshot—have become essential for many marketers, data providers, and platforms. With Oracle’s departure, stakeholders are left searching for reliable alternatives to maintain their data-driven strategies. While this transition may seem daunting, it presents a unique opportunity to reassess audience and identity solutions. With the growing importance of adaptability and interoperability, now is the perfect time for advertisers, agencies, publishers, and platforms to adopt future-focused strategies. Oracle’s legacy: A combination of acquisitions Oracle’s advertising business wasn’t a unified solution but a collection of acquired technologies. Crosswise provided a cross-device identity graph; BlueKai offered a robust data management platform (DMP); Datalogix specialized in offline purchase data; and Grapeshot was known for its contextual targeting. Together, these tools powered a comprehensive offering for advertisers, data providers, and platforms. Yet, much of Oracle’s advertising success stemmed from the external data it used. For example, many of Oracle’s automotive audiences relied heavily on third-party data, largely powered by Experian data. This means that while Oracle may no longer be an option, many of the services marketers depended on through Oracle are still available from Experian, ensuring continuity. What this means for advertisers and agencies For advertisers and agencies, Oracle’s exit means losing access to its syndicated audiences. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to cause a major disruption. As one of Oracle’s primary data providers, we've mapped Oracle’s audiences to our own, ensuring marketers can easily maintain their targeting strategies without losing performance or efficiency. With access to over 2,400 syndicated audiences across key verticals such as demographics, automotive, retail purchases, or financial data, advertisers can continue their campaigns with confidence and precision. What sets us apart? Powered by data ranked #1 in accuracy by Truthset, our audiences are built on reliable, offline, deterministic data — like name, address, phone number, and email. This means advertisers can be confident that they are reaching the right audiences across all channels. With our audiences available across 30+ ad platforms, including programmatic, TV, and social media, advertisers and agencies have easy access to keep their campaigns running. For advertisers that ran audience targeting using Grapeshot's Contextual Platform, our new Contextually-Indexed Audiences are a replacement built for the evolving digital media landscape. By combining the precision of audience targeting with the flexibility of contextual targeting, marketers get a privacy-safe, yet scalable way to target audiences that is not reliant on cookies or other user identifiers. Marketers can activate these audiences through leading demand-side platforms (DSPs) or through Audigent private marketplaces (PMPs).   A new opportunity for data providers Oracle’s marketplace has long been a crucial distribution channel for third-party data providers, particularly through BlueKai. With its closure, providers have an opportunity to explore new onboarding services and marketplaces that offer similar or even better reach and effectiveness. New alternative onboarding solutions are emerging, particularly in areas like TV and digital, ensuring that the loss of Oracle’s services does not leave a significant gap. These solutions are being built to overcome the challenges typically present with data onboarding — complicated integration processes, limited ID matching capabilities, and opaque pricing structures. One such solution is Experian’s new Third-Party Onboarding.  What sets us apart? With our digital and offline identity capabilities embedded within this solution, data providers receive superior programmatic and connected TV (CTV) reach and addressability compared to the competition. The first data providers – Adentro, Kontext, L2, and Webbula – are already using this solution to increase the adoption of their audiences and maximize their revenue. Additionally, new marketplaces are emerging that aim to fill the void left by Oracle, offering distribution to key destinations and providing data providers with continued access to advertisers who require high-quality, third-party data. Platforms shift to new audience solutions Platforms that relied on Oracle for third-party data and audience onboarding are now facing challenges in maintaining their ability to target specific audiences. This could affect their inventory's attractiveness to buyers. However, we offer a seamless solution for platforms looking to replace Oracle’s capabilities. As one of Oracle’s primary data providers, we've already mapped Oracle’s audiences to our catalog of over 2,400 syndicated audiences. Platforms can continue providing precise audience targeting and ensure advertisers receive the performance that they demand. Additionally, Third-Party Onboarding builds upon the investment and infrastructure used to distribute our own audience segments, providing platforms with audiences from leading third-party data providers.  Moving forward: Embracing connectivity We're dedicated to powering data-driven advertising through connectivity. With best-in-class syndicated audiences, new Contextually-Indexed Audiences, and an easy-to-use Third-Party Onboarding solution, we're enabling advertisers, agencies, data providers, and ad platforms to improve their marketing operations. Oracle’s departure marks the end of one era, but it also opens the door to a future where collaboration, interoperability, and connectivity define the landscape. By choosing partners like us, advertisers, agencies, and platforms can ensure they remain agile, innovative, and well-equipped to thrive in this new era of data-driven marketing.
