We eliminated the third-party cookie used for performance

We believe that the beauty and benefits of on-site personalization will be beneficial to all stakeholders if done always respecting user privacy. At BTBuckets we do not work with PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and we want to make sure the website visitor is always in control.



Besides working with a universal opt-out, all of the segmentation information we use is stored on the individual user…
