The Yahoo DSP in partnership with LiveRamp , the leading data collaboration platform, announced their integration of LiveRamp’s Authenticated Traffic Solution (ATS) and Yahoo ConnectID, its cookieless identity solution, is now fully available for publishers. With the announcement, Yahoo has added dozens of new publisher domains to its already robust partner ecosystem.
Following the initial announcement of their partnership, Yahoo DSP and LiveRamp publishers are now able to leverage Yahoo ConnectID and Authenticated Traffic Solution to unlock additional addressable demand.
