How Fiat Achieved Complete Analytics Independence with Hardal Cookieless Infrastructure

Fiat, operating through the TOFAŞ group in Turkey, faced critical analytics challenges as browser privacy restrictions threatened their ability to understand customer behavior. Third-party cookie dependency created measurement vulnerabilities, while incomplete analytics data prevented accurate business decisions.

The solution was comprehensive first-party data warehousing with cookieless analytics infrastructure, establishing measurement completely independent of browser restrictions.

Why Hardal?

Fiat was struggling with browser privacy restrictions that blocked significant customer data and limited visibility into the complete automotive shopping journey. Safari ITP, Chrome privacy updates, and iOS restrictions were creating fragmented tracking and preventing accurate attribution across research and purchase cycles.

Hardal's cookieless tracking solution established first-party data infrastructure that eliminated cookie dependency while powering Fiat's custom in-house analytics dashboard.
