What is first-party data?

Question: What is first-party data?

  • Information customers consent to share directly through interactions and transactions with your brand
  • Information purchased from external brokers and aggregators for advertising purposes
  • Anonymous browsing insights collected through third-party cookies across the internet

Explanation

First-party data comes from direct brand interactions such as purchases, account activity, loyalty programs, and website events. In Amazon Marketing Cloud, advertiser-provided signals can be used with Amazon Ads signals for privacy-safe analysis. This data is valuable because it reflects a brand’s owned customer relationships and consented interactions. It differs from data sourced through external intermediaries or cross-site tracking mechanisms.

Why the other options are incorrect

External brokers is incorrect because purchased data is not collected directly from a brand’s own customer relationships.

Third-party cookies is incorrect because cross-site cookie tracking is not first-party data.
