Identity Resolution
The process of stitching together multiple identifiers such as cookies, login IDs, and CRM records to understand that they belong to the same user or account.
How Identity Resolution works in practice
Identity resolution becomes critical once customers interact across multiple devices, sessions, or systems. The same person may appear as separate browser cookies, app instances, CRM contacts, and ad platform identifiers unless those records are connected thoughtfully. Better identity resolution improves attribution, audience building, and lifecycle messaging because it creates a more complete view of the customer journey. The challenge is technical and governance-related, especially under modern privacy constraints.
