This paper investigates the potential reactions of Swiss publishers, as actors with-in the digital advertising ecosystem, to the forthcoming fundamental changes to user tracking in the world wide web. The results of this mixed methodical study initiate the discussion on the future of cookie tracking by setting and then answering to four hypotheses regarding first-party tracking, shared ID solutions, Google's Privacy Sandbox, and a national walled garden system. The results show a clear inclination of Swiss publishers towards firstparty tracking and shared ID solutions, neutral standing towards Google's efforts to undo their harm provoking with their upcoming change, and an aversion towards a nation-wide walled garden. These findings intend to increase the volume of the discussion on the effects of BigTech's changes on the digital advertising ecosystem as a whole and therefore stimulate further research on the effects on single actors within this ecosystem -beyond the publishers themselves.
