Patrick (Tracer Labs) breaks down Trust ID, a consent + identity layer that replaces cookie pop-ups with a portable, user-owned identity (and embedded wallet). We dig into how Tracer helps brands unify siloed data without storing PII, verify real humans amid AI traffic, and enable one-click privacy that travels site-to-site.
