The demo tool, contributed by Index Exchange, sheds light on the Protected Audience API (PAAPI) within Google’s Privacy Sandbox. Ad tech professionals can explore PAAPI, understanding how user interest groups are formed and ads reach consumers sans cookies. As the industry adapts to a cookieless web, Google’s Privacy Sandbox, especially PAAPI, plays a pivotal role in audience addressability.

Index Exchange created the demo tool to demystify PAAPI, allowing users to comprehend the intricacies of ad auctions using PAAPI. Donated to the IAB Tech Lab, this tool serves as a valuable educational resource for the industry, providing practical insights into the workings of Privacy Sandbox components.

We interviewed Mike McNeeley to gain insights into the Privacy Sandbox Demo Tool. The tool enables a hands-on understanding of Protected Audience API's functioning, offering a holistic view of the Privacy Sandbox on a sample website. It aims to simplify the visualization of APIs' actions, aiding industry professionals in navigating the evolving privacy landscape.
