RESTON, Va., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Comscore (NASDAQ: SCOR) is excited to announce the expansion of its Predictive Audiences capabilities across even more European markets, in addition to the current capabilities available in the UK and Germany. This first of its kind GDPR-friendly, cookie-free targeting capability enables advertisers to reach audiences based on granular consumer behaviors through privacy-friendly contextual signals based on B2B data.

Following its launch of Predictive Audiences based on CTV viewership data in the UK and Germany, Comscore is delighted to expand its Activation suite further. Combining its leading media consumption data assets with the industry's second-largest contextual crawler and intelligent categorization technology, Comscore is able to transform audience targets into privacy-friendly contextual signals. Now with Comscore adding data from a new partnership with Eyeota to its capabilities, advertisers are enabled to further layer in B2B data to reach even more relevant audiences. In addition, cookie-free age and gender audiences based on Comscore's best-in-class demographic data are now available for the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. These valuable audiences are available in leading DSPs for pre-bid contextual targeting for web, video, CTV, and podcast content.

Under the new partnership with Eyeota, the leading audience technology platform enabling the intelligent use of data, this will become the first solution to bring their B2B audiences to market in a cookie-free manner. Eyeota's rich global history and granular audience data will help power next generation cookie-free B2B audiences to the European markets.
