Third party data
Third party data is a term that refers to the source of the data available. In the case of third party data, data is available that is provided by a data provider that does not have direct contact with the user of the data. In this case, the data is often collected from various websites and platforms and then aggregated into a data management platform (DMP) by a third-party data provider. The major advantage of using third-party data is that comprehensive group profiles can be created by aggregating information (including information about web interactions and online behaviors of users) from different sources. The information is delivered in a segmented manner.
