Had a great chat with Vaibhav Antil, co-founder of Privado.ai, about the evolving role of privacy in digital marketing—and why it’s no longer just a checkbox.

In this episode of Couch Confidentials, I sit down with Tommy Sowerby to challenge everything we think we know about anonymous users in marketing. With 85-95% of website visitors remaining unidentified, are we missing massive opportunities by focusing too much on known users?
