With the deprecation of third-party cookies around the corner, Google has unveiled a new, privacy-friendly measurement tool for advertisers called Meridian.

Meridian is an open-source Marketing Mix Model (MMM) – which is making a big comeback amongst marketers, according to Google. Even though MMMs aren’t perfect, the technology is reportedly getting better, and proving to be a comprehensive and privacy-durable measurement solution.

Meridian is exclusive to select advertisers, but Google has great plans to open it up to all marketers and data scientists in the very near cookieless future.
