PubMatic this morning unveiled a new "data firewall" system, giving online publishers the ability to manage third-parties that are tracking their audience via pixels or cookies and, in many
cases, causing "data leakage."
In an announcement, Pubmatic said, "Data leakage occurs when third-parties track a publisher's audience without the knowledge of the publisher, a problem that
has grown considerably in the past year." PubMatic estimates that data leakage costs publishers up to $ 1 billion annually in lost revenues.
