Perion Network announced that CodeFuel, its search technology division, has launched Privado Private Search Engine, aimed at protecting users’ rights to online privacy. To ensure a search query is not associated with a specific user, Privado generates an anonymous ID, and users are presented with contextual information to their search queries, powered by Bing. “Search monetization is a core pillar in Perion’s strategy of delivering cross channel client value”, said Doron Gerstel, CEO of Perion. “We are excited about the new level of cooperation with Microsoft Advertising, bringing to the market a new experience for consumers who are looking to protect their privacy. With this recent launch, we expect to amplify the reach of our search offering.”
