Everyone wins with private personalisation

Up to 60% of your audience rejects cookies. That means lost ad revenue — and lost precision. Upod changes that. Your audience stores their own data and decides who gets private, anonymized access. You get first-hand data. They keep their privacy. Everyone wins.

Advertising depends on insights, but insights depend on consent

Cookie banners, ad blockers, and privacy regulations have made it harder than ever to understand who’s visiting your site. The result: lower CPMs, less effective targeting, and shrinking margins. Upod helps you overcome this challenge by giving you direct, consent-based access to high-quality user data — all without relying on third-party cookies or invasive tracking.

What data you can access

Every verified Upod user can share basic profile information — all consented and pseudonymised.

Included in the freemium plan:

  • Gender
  • Age range
  • City or region

We offer custom packages for additional data points — such as interests, engagement behavior, or purchase intent. For extended access or integration with your personalization systems, contact us for tailored pricing and setup.

Win back your audience insights

With Upod, users share verified data from their own Personal Online Data storage (POD). Every session you gain high-quality insights into interests, preferences, and demographics — explicit validated and consented data without identifying individuals.

Stay effortlessly compliant

Upod is **privacy by design** and **GDPR-compliant by default**. Our infrastructure keeps pace with European regulations, so you can focus on content and revenue, not legal risks.

Data storage in a separate foundation

By design, Utonomy runs on the trusted infrastructure van Stichting Nederlandse Datakluis, a foundation subsidised by the European Union.

Three ways to implement Upod

Integrate Upod into your website’s sign-in

Offer “Sign in with Upod” as a third option next to Accept or Decline. Visitors who choose this option sign in to Upod, consent to share data, and return to your site with pseudonymised, ready-to-use insights.

Add Upod to your Consent Management Platform (CMP)

Add “Sign in with Upod” beside your existing login. Users are redirected to Upod for consent and authentication — and when they return, your systems instantly connect to the Upod API for anonymised session data.

Re-engage cookie decliners

Display a lightweight Upod sign-in prompt after a user declines cookies. It’s an alternative that lets them share data on their own terms, without compromising privacy.

A foundation for the future of media

There has never been a better time to rethink how digital media handles data. As **AI begins shaping what audiences read, watch, and buy**, publishers have a responsibility to rebuild the web on trust — not tracking. By connecting to Utonomy, you’re joining a growing European movement to create a **human-centred web** — one where media thrives through ethics, quality, and transparency.
