Salutations,

It seems like summer days really are drifting away. We hope that you all had a chance to enjoy them whilst they were here.

As for us, we have been busy preparing a debrief on the purported e-receipt data apocalypse – now that the dust has finally settled. How are the e-receipt data providers faring in the aftermath of (a) GDPR and (b) Gmail’s privacy policy revamp? Were the results as catastrophic as expected?

Other topics covered in this month’s tidbits include a chance meeting between a data scraper and its data source, as well as some positive news from the land of TV tracking datasets.
