A discussion of how to leverage insights from your data when you can’t collect as much data as you previously had, and you cannot collect tracking data on at least some of your customers. I will discuss the problems of over-collection and over-reliance on particular types of data, and ways to leverage actually valuable and useful insights while reducing the data collection footprint.
The presentation begins with the assertion that we (as an industry) collect too much data, and that we do so sloppily. This has the effect of undermining our efforts, without it being obvious that our data collection is flawed.
This leads to backlash (GDPR) but also imposes significant costs and obstacles. Analytics take time to load, and can lead to some extremely slow and bloated sites. What does that lead to? Among other things, customer loss, increased engineering and storage costs, reputational and legal risk, increased CO2 emissions and an unfocused collection strategy disconnected from other business logic.
The presentation will go through some of the problems with over-collection, and discuss different ways to collect and use data that align with business goals.
