SILICON SLOPES, Utah — October 28, 2020 — ObservePoint is pleased to announce that Search Discovery is sponsoring Validate 2020 and that Cory Underwood, their Platform Engineer, will be leading a session. 

In his session, “Browser Privacy - The New Normal,” Underwood will discuss how changes in technology can affect the industry, and what businesses can do about it.

“Often lost in the discussion of the legal aspects of privacy, there is a strong undercurrent reflecting the shifting bottom of the technology ocean,” says Underwood. “Over the past two years major browser vendors have introduced a sweeping array of divergent behavior which can affect your analytics, marketing, and optimization efforts.”

Underwood started his career over a decade ago as a Web Developer supporting the marketing team at L.L.Bean. During his time there he entered the world of optimization by troubleshooting A/B Tests, eventually transitioning to full time support of the optimization team. In recent years, he’s held Tech Lead roles in the areas of A/B Testing, Tagging, Personalization and Analytics developing some of the most interesting solutions around in the name of accuracy and impact. His mission is to keep the larger analytics community informed of technical changes imposed by outside forces that could impact their implementations and reporting.
