How This Briefing Works

This report opens with key findings, then maps the gaps between what Adhese discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection data and evidence underneath.

Observed Behavior

CDT analysis needed — DSPs deploy cross-domain sync and cookie matching infrastructure

Customer Impact

What This Means For You

No measurable behavioral risk from current detection data. DSPs inherently operate cross-domain tracking infrastructure for bid optimization and audience matching. Runtime analysis is needed to assess actual behavioral footprint.
Recommended Actions

What To Do About It

Role-specific actions based on observed behavior

If You Use Adhese

  • monitor for scanner detections
  • audit programmatic tag deployment

If You're Evaluating Adhese

  • recon investigation for cross-domain sync and cookie matching behavior

Negotiation Leverage

  • Baseline detection only — DSPs require behavioral analysis for accurate risk assessment
  • Demand-side platforms operate extensive cross-domain tracking by design
  • Review bid stream data sharing and audience segment retention policies
