Privacy-First Personalization: How Umbraco Engage Can Transform Your Digital Experience
Users don’t just want personalized experiences — they expect them.
But how do you personalize without crossing the line on privacy?
It’s a tough balance. Luckily, Umbraco Engage was built to help us get it right.
As a certified Umbraco Silver Partner, we’ve been following this tool’s development closely, and we believe it’s a game-changer for teams who want to deliver smarter, ethical, and truly engaging digital experiences.
Let’s walk through three key principles of responsible personalization – and how Umbraco Engage makes it all possible.
Respect the user – always
Everything starts with trust. Data collection should always happen with clear and informed consent. It’s not just about having a consent banner – it’s about building trust: no data unless the user says yes.
Umbraco Engage supports this approach by working seamlessly with consent preferences, allowing you to personalize responsibly without compromising integrity – all directly inside your CMS.
Focus on first-party data
Third-party cookies? They’re on the way out.
The future lies in first-party data – the data you collect directly from your visitors. It’s more accurate, relevant, and most importantly, more respectful.
With Umbraco Engage, you can:
- Recognize returning visitors
- Adjust content based on referral source (e.g., GitHub visitors get technical articles)
- Build dynamic experiences based on real behavior
Turning data into real results
Data is only useful if you act on it.
That’s why Umbraco Engage comes with:
- Built-in A/B testing
- Real-time personalization
- Behavioral insights directly in the Umbraco back office
Imagine knowing instantly when a user logs in – and serving them a tailored journey instead of a generic homepage. That’s the power of data that works.
The Result? Less noise. More relevance. Better conversion.
