ID-free® Behavioral Targeting and Cookieless Advertising
The only ID-less behavioral targeting solution available today.
What is Behavioral Targeting?
Behavioral-based targeting is a marketing strategy that utilizes data on users’ online activities, such as websites visited, and content consumed to deliver targeted ads. Unlike cookie-based tracking, behavior-based targeting can be enhanced using advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to predict user interests and intent, ensuring privacy and relevance without relying on user identification.
With an increase in online privacy regulations and changing consumer expectations, digital advertising is moving toward a cookieless future. Advertisers will no longer be able to rely on cookies to target potential customers — behavioral targeting is the future. Leveraging technologies like Dstillery’s ID-free® can help maintain campaign effectiveness and compliance.
Revolutionary privacy-safe targeting: How ID-free works
ID-free is a first-of-its-kind targeting technology. It uses advanced AI to analyze anonymous web traffic patterns and predict future behavior without relying on cookies. By understanding the context and sequence of web visits, ID-free can identify relevant audiences and deliver targeted ads effectively.
It delivers scale and privacy for advertisers’ programmatic ad campaigns by predicting the value of an impression to a brand without knowing anything about the user. The patented technology uses AI to learn from browsing patterns detected in de-identified opt-in panel data.
Neural network technology called the Map of the Internet (MOTI) powers ID-free. Using MOTI, we create a model that identifies the best impression opportunities.
The model answers the question: when someone visits this site, how likely will they be interested in your brand’s message?
Benefits of ID-free targeting
- Privacy Protection: By eliminating the need for cookies and personal data, ID-free targeting respects user privacy.
- Effective Targeting: Utilizes advanced algorithms to target relevant audiences based on behavioral patterns.
- Future-Proof: Adaptable solution amidst evolving privacy regulations and changes in browser cookie policies.

The future of ad targeting
Just like how AI language models such as ChatGPT learn by predicting the next word in a sentence, ID-free learns by predicting the next website visit in an anonymous user’s online journey. The result is privacy-safe behavioral targeting that reaches 100% of ad impressions and can be used to power a range of Dstillery targeting products.
We can use ID-free to build a just-for-your-brand Custom AI model with first-party data or a Custom Search Lookalikes model with search terms. Or, with our data, we can create a Custom Built or Pre-built model that leverages thousands of behavioral segments.
ID-free FAQ
ID-free is an AI-powered targeting technology that predicts the best ad impressions for a brand without any user tracking.
ID-free delivers performance and scale for advertisers’ programmatic campaigns. It also solves user privacy issues by not tracking users or creating user profiles. This makes ID-free a perfect solution for cookie deprecation and any privacy laws or regulations, including GDPR.
ID-free is proven to drive both performance and scale. It can be modeled and optimized across the marketing funnel for most key performance indicators (KPIs), but it is most commonly used for upper-funnel campaigns driving qualified reach.
By adding predictive bidding on The Trade Desk, it can also deliver up to 2.5x the performance of cookies for mid- and lower-funnel campaigns (more on this below).
ID-free solves problems for performance, scale, and privacy for advertisers today. It’s not contextual nor an alternative ID; it’s patented technology in a category of its own.
ID-free uses AI to learn privacy-safe browsing patterns and applies these insights to inventory targeting. Think of it like this: ChatGPT understands words based on their use in a sentence. Similarly, ID-free understands website visits based on how they appear in browsing patterns. The result is privacy-safe behavioral targeting that reaches any display, in-app, or CTV ad impression with or without IDs.
