Understanding user-enabled ID solutions
User-enabled ID solutions allow advertisers to continue having a 1:1 understanding of their audiences. These solutions rely on the user providing data or information - such as a username or email address - that enables them to be recognised. They include publisher first-party data solutions and third-party ID enabled solutions, often called universal or unified ID solutions.

Understanding cohorts
Cohorts pool users with similar interests to create groups. Cohorts are very similar to interest-based targeting. However, instead of advertisers being able to target a user on a 1:1 basis, cohorts allow for targeting on a 1:many basis. This means that advertisers can't identify any individual user, but they can see what broader interest group or cohort they came from.
Understanding contextual solutions
Contextual targeting is when an ad is targeted based on characteristics of the web page or environment that a person is in, rather than based on any personal data. Enhanced contextual solutions look at factors like page sentiment and users’ physical context. While contextual targeting does not allow for 1:1 measurement of users, it does allow advertisers to track the attention an ad receives and the quality of the impression.
