Azira launches Estimated Visits Core for location intelligence
Azira announced Estimated Visits Core, a new location intelligence product that provides brands and agencies direct access to cleansed, fraud-checked mobility and transaction-based data. The cloud-delivered data feed covers more than 940,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada, representing over 4,000 brands across 33 verticals, and is designed to connect directly to analytics and business-intelligence platforms. Azira says the product distinguishes vertical-specific details (for example, combo stores vs standalone outlets and drive-through vs in-store visits) and is its first to be powered by a diversified mix of privacy-safe signals. The company positions the launch as enabling competitive analysis, audience development, site selection, campaign activation and measurement while addressing privacy and data fragmentation challenges. Gladys Kong, Azira’s CEO, is quoted describing the product as high-quality, verified insights delivered into existing workflows.
A new location-intelligence product from a data provider that improves access to cleansed, privacy-focused visitation and transaction signals is relevant to marketers and measurement vendors but is not industry-shifting.

Taptap Digital Unveils Retail Origins for Smart Retail Insights
Taptap Digital announced the launch of Retail Origins, a location-intelligence powered solution that identifies aggregated home and work visitor origins and areas where shoppers overlap with competitors, using consented and anonymised mobility data. Targeted at bricks-and-mortar mass-market retailers with high visitation, such as grocers and QSR brands, Retail Origins aims to improve planning, activation and reporting for omnichannel campaigns. The solution offers three capabilities: defining true store catchment areas from mobility data; highlighting competitive areas where visitors are shared with rivals; and enabling first-party data integration (e.g., loyalty programs or app installs) to prioritize activation. A future enhancement, Audience Mobility, would expand attribution across campaigns including CTV, DOOH and display, by analyzing mobility behaviour of aggregated audiences. Retail Origins follows recent launches by Taptap, including Total Retail, a sofa-to-store FMCG solution powered by credit card transaction data and store-level sales data.

Apple iOS 27 Blocks The Trade Desk from Serving Safari Ads
Apple's iOS 27, released mid-September, has blocked major programmatic data firms—including The Trade Desk, LiveRamp, ID5, Permutive, and Audigent—from serving ads or collecting data in Safari via a WebKit blocklist. This dynamic, privately hosted blocklist prevents ad delivery on iPhones, iPads, and macOS, affecting CDPs, DMPs, and DSPs. The Trade Desk's adsrvr.org was removed in iOS 27.2 beta, but Apple plans a broader blocklist covering hundreds of ad tech and martech vendors, disrupting ad serving, attribution, and alternative IDs. Unlike ATT, this fully blocks ad delivery, raising competitive concerns, especially if Google is exempt. Some vendors like LiveIntent and Lotame remain unaffected, but the block reduces publisher demand and shifts market composition. It follows regulatory actions in Europe and a UK class action, with Germany's Bundeskartellamt concluding in mid-2026. IAB Tech Lab's Trusted Server is a proposed solution, but adoption is slow. Impact is currently limited by low iOS 27 adoption but expected to grow.
