Rapid privacy changes such as increased regulations and the depreciation of third-party cookies, device IDs, and IP addresses make it difficult for marketers to reach their target audiences, manage delivery, and measure outcomes. To overcome such challenges, FreeWheel’s Identity Network creates interoperability across various industry ID solutions, third-party IDs, and customer first-party identity assets to simplify workflows and enable privacy-safe, identity-enabled transactions. 

Beeswax users utilizing FreeWheel’s Identity Network get a unified view of audiences across all supply pools and have the ability to scale addressable campaigns, accurately manage reach and frequency, and measure outcomes.

The PII-anchored graph (Identity Graph) empowers Beeswax customers to safely and securely resolve identity across multiple buy- and sell-side first-party, third-party, and universal identity spaces. 

The FreeWheel Identity Network also:

• Defines the universe of US individuals and households tied to various devices, universal IDs, and customer first-Party IDs.
• Powers higher quality match rates to inventory for: 
  • Segment extension 
  • Frequency capping 
  • Experiments 
  • Audience measurement

Beeswax users can enable “FreeWheel ID Network” at the Campaign and Line-Item level for Segment Extension and/or Frequency Capping, providing a higher inventory match rate across inventory types, as well as higher fidelity matches.
