Abstract
In digital environment nowadays, data about Internet usage can be used to tailor content and advertisements to users’ interests. Interactive advertising allows customers to become more involved because they initiate most of the action. Social media allows customers and prospects to communicate directly to the brand representative or about the brand with their friends. Experiences during this interaction will drive brand attitudes. Since online behavioural advertising uses a targeted approach and the advertisement of the retailer is directed to the most appropriate and interested consumer and online retailers interact with online consumers for their transactions, online behavioural advertising becomes a very important tool especially for online retailers. However, online behavioural advertising programs through social media, which target consumers based on their interests and preferences, still raises debate concerning consumer privacy interests in connection with business data collection, transfer and use. This article aims to explain the influence of online behavioural advertising (OBA) on attitude and their purchase intention. This type of research is explanatory with quantitative approach.
