The demise of third-party cookies has triggered an existential crisis for internet businesses, long dependent on invasive tracking to target ads and fuel growth. This coupled with increasing consumer skepticism about how companies handle personal data, has created an urgent need for more ethical approaches to digital engagement.

At Snickerdoodle Labs, we're not merely adapting to these changes—we're leading the way.

The Role of ZK in Snickerdoodle's Infrastructure

Snickerdoodle's core infrastructure doesn't just provide a workaround to the cookie crisis—it reimagines the very foundation of consumer data engagement:

• Decentralized Data - Unlike traditional centralized models that lean heavily on third-party cookies, Snickerdoodle offers a privacy preserving platform, avoiding centralized data lakes or unified user profiles. Your data stays with you.

• Privacy as a Standard - Our use of innovative zkSNARK technology ensures that insights are gathered from an audience that has actively and willingly shared their data, thereby eliminating data redundancy and the risk of tampering.

• Web3 Analytics, Supercharged by zkSNARKs - Designed to natively support contextual web3 user analytics, Snickerdoodle employs zkSNARKs for user targeting, sidestepping the privacy pitfalls of UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers).

• Universal Compatibility - Our analytics package effortlessly integrates into any website, app or dApp.

• Holistic User Insight - By integrating both web2 and web3 data, we offer a panoramic view of user engagement, liberating marketing and BD teams from the constraints of outdated cookie technology.

Why the o1js library is Snickerdoodle's choice for zkSNARKs Implementation

While the market clamors for quick fixes to the third-party cookie implosion, we have been selective in our technology partnerships. After evaluating various zkSNARK libraries, we found o1js, a Typescript library and application framework, to be the perfect fit. It is built by O(1) Labs, a blockchain technology company building tooling and software that leverages zero knowledge cryptography for applications like ours.

o1js has enabled Snickerdoodle to:

• Seamlessly integrate zkSNARKs into existing web frameworks using TypeScript for a frictionless developer experience

• Maintain a sharp focus on usability and real-world applicability, optimizing zkSNARKs for consumer-facing engagement

• Easily implement a zkSNARKs circuit with minimal engineering making the partnership cost & time efficient

"We're thrilled to partner with Snickerdoodle Labs, a company that shares our commitment to ethical data practices and consumer privacy. Their innovative use of our o1js library not only showcases the capabilities of zkSNARKs but also sets a new standard for responsible digital engagement." - Phil Kelly, Head of Business Development at O(1) Labs

In this landscape of waning trust and fading cookies, Snickerdoodle has gained an indispensable partner in O(1) Labs for introducing the next generation of privacy-preserving analytics to the mainstream.

The Road Ahead: Building Trust in a Cookieless World

In an era where consumers demand ownership and transparency, Snickerdoodle offers a blend of business prosperity and user-centric privacy.  By leveraging bleeding-edge cryptography like zk-SNARKs and partnering with innovative libraries like o1js, Snickerdoodle turns privacy and security from lofty aspirations into reality.

"At Snickerdoodle, we recognize that privacy is not just a feature - it's the cornerstone of a trusted relationship between businesses and consumers in the digital age. By pioneering solutions using zkSNARKs and partnership with O(1) Labs as part of the Mina ecosystem, we can reconcile personalization with privacy, unlocking value for all stakeholders." - Jonathan Padilla, CEO Snickerdoodle Labs
