Comscore brings its patent-pending Predictive Audiences solution to the UK and Germany, with the industry’s first European CTV viewership audiences

Comscore is excited to announce the expansion of Predictive Audiences – the industry’s first cookie-free, GDPR-friendly targeting capability that enables advertisers to reach audiences based on granular CTV viewership behavior through privacy-friendly contextual signals – starting with the UK and Germany markets.

Comscore has created cookie-free CTV viewership segments for advertisers by leveraging its unique set of data assets comprised of its opted-in digital panel, rich behavioral data, CTV ad exposure and viewership data, and its superior contextual crawler. This innovation marks the first cookie-free audience targeting solution for CTV in Europe.

After announcing the launch of international CTV measurement capabilities in select European markets last year, Comscore is now expanding the range of solutions offered to its clients.
