But its changes are far less disruptive than ATT, namely because tracking permissions will remain opt-out instead of opt-in. Android 12 rolled out October 2021 with several new features, including a new Privacy Dashboard that allows users to easily change permissions. In addition to the previously mentioned increase in Facebook CPMs, the cost per click for Google Search ads increased 41% between Q3 2020 and Q3 2021, per Merkle.Īndroid’s more lenient privacy policies have greatly increased mobile app install spending on the platform.

Because the tool doesn’t link identifiable information to specific users, it doesn’t need to ask for permission, effectively circumventing ATT. Snapchat’s Advanced Conversions tool collects aggregated data. In the meantime, LinkedIn has also released group targeting tools for B2B marketers. These generally use machine learning to approximate the connection between seeing an ad and downloading an app, rather than using data to definitively link the two. Other platforms like Meta, alongside some adtech firms, already use similar probabilistic models. LinkedIn is testing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to measure conversions. Some players are looking for ways to replicate pre-ATT results. Third-party data is still the bulk of many smaller platforms’ and mobile app publishers’ business-as well as Big Tech platforms with audience networks like Meta, Snap, and LinkedIn.
