Ability to remarket banners using creative messaging to consumers based on their browsing activity and behavior, product interests would definitely be impacted, mentions Marwaha.

Easwaramony sees India’s future in a fortunate position due to the wide usage of mobile applications. He says, “ India is a mobile-first nation. A lot of higher-end consumers use apps which are not cookie-driven. It is driven by a different device ID- based identification of the user. We are fortunate in India as we have a high penetration of mobile apps”.
