IOS 14: The Aftermath & General Implications

Since April 26th, iOS 14 has had a measurable impact on Facebook and Google ad campaign performance across the board. As more users adopt the update, this trend is expected to continue.

Here are our client observations so far into this new era of reduced pixel tracking:

  • Significant but optimistic performance changes
  • Direct impact to conversion tracking via Facebook pixel
  • Cookie opt-outs continue across devices, regardless of platform

Google's Delay of Cookie Removal to Late 2023

Even in light of Google’s recent postponement of Chrome privacy changes until 2023, advertisers should still prepare for tomorrow’s inevitable cookie-less world to come.

How to prepare:

  • Reduce your reliance on cookies
  • Increase first-party data collection
  • Aggressively test audiences
  • Check your backend data

For data concerning the impact of iOS14 and details on how to prepare for Google’s upcoming changes, check out our latest article here.
