GLOSSARYContextual Targeting
What is it and why it is important?
What is Contextual Targeting?
A method of serving ads based on the content of the webpage or app, rather than user behavior or identity. For example, showing a sports ad on a sports news article.
Why is Contextual Targeting important?
It offers a privacy-safe way to deliver relevant ads, especially as third-party cookies and identifiers are phased out.
What are the benefits of Contextual Targeting?
Contextual targeting shows ads based on the content someone is viewing—like showing a hiking gear ad on a travel blog. It’s a smart, privacy-friendly way to keep your message relevant, especially as fewer advertisers rely on personal tracking.
