Lawmakers around the world are putting comprehensive data privacy laws in place to give control to internet users and to protect user data. -
Platform changes
Browsers and mobile operating systems like iOS and Android are shifting away from tracking people across sites and apps by restricting third-party cookies and identifiers.
These changes could impact ad performance
Regulatory and technology changes could impact your ability to reach relevant
audiences, measure their marketing performance, and win customer trust. This Hub
is designed to provide you with resources to navigate this shifting environment.
Measurement
Ad and analytics platforms may lose conversion tracking data for
same-device and cross-device conversions.
Audiences
Restrictions on third-party cookies impacts remarketing lists, thereby
impacting the ability to reach an engaged audience.
Reporting
Loss of data hinders accuracy and complete measurement of conversions.
Over time, this could mean drops in return on ad spend and top-line
revenue.
Trust
In today’s digital environment, brands that don’t give privacy the
attention it deserves, may risk losing customer trust.
