Identity Solutions

Every impression carries an identity signal.
Logged in or not.

Identity and addressability features, such as User IDs, are vital for website monetization since they play a crucial role in driving revenue and maximizing the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Available to all the IMPROVE DIGITAL publishers

Identity signals are the ultimate revenue engine for publishers. By giving advertisers the precise targeting they demand, you unlock premium CPMs and turn unaddressed traffic into high-value ad inventory.

Our own testing framework

We don't run every ID partner on every site by default. We test each one inside our own framework, measuring real lift on your inventory and keep only the ones that pay for themselves.

Integrated by default

Identity solutions wired in across all three categories. No extra contract, no extra fees.

Your editorial signals, attached to every bid.

Deterministic User IDs

Direct, accurate, scale-limited.

Tied to a known user, usually a hashed email from a signed-in audience. Highest accuracy, best cross-device match. Scale depends on how many users actually log in.

Probabilistic User IDs

Broad reach, no PII required.

A best-guess identity inferred from device, and behavior signals. Works on logged-out audiences. Lower accuracy, much bigger scale, fills the gap where deterministic IDs can't.

Pass content and audience signals into every auction

Content taxonomy

Tell buyers exactly what each page is about and command the segment-specific CPMs.

Audience taxonomy

Demographics, interests, purchase intent, pulled from your own first-party data and passed through with consent.

Custom mapping

If your CMS doesn't speak IAB, we write the script that translates your categories into the standard. Passed through to every demand partner on every impression.

Example

A subscriber reading a travel guide to Japan.

The page is your editorial guide to Tokyo. The reader is signed in to your newsletter — you already know her age, her interests, and what she's planning. Every signal below leaves your site on the same impression.

Page signal · What the page is about

Travel → International → Japan

Reader signal · What you know from signup

Gender · Female

Age · 35–44

Interest · International travel · Food & culture

Purchase intent · Flights & hotels · Japan

Result: the airline, hotel chain, or tour operator bidding on this auction sees a perfect-match reader on a perfect-match page. The price reflects it.

Capture wherever the user already authenticated

Newsletter, subscription, paywall, login or any comment widget your site already uses.

You choose how the email leaves your site

Send us the raw address and we hash it server-side, or hash it yourself with SHA-256 first.

Compliance — covered

We will guide you through the process.

Worked example

A returning reader, signed in for the newsletter.

She subscribed last month. Today she's on a fashion article. Without an identity signal, her impression sells at the anonymous price.

What leaves your site

Email · reader@example.com

Hashed (SHA-256) · a1f4…c92e

Raw email · never leaves the browser

What the buy-side sees

Before · anonymous web visitor

After · addressable, cross-device, retargetable

Same reader. Same article. Different price.

Any signed-in surface counts — newsletter, comments widget, paywall, login wall. One hashed email address is all the demand side needs.
