The IDFA Is Not Gone Yet, But Here’s What Advertisers (Still) Need to Do

Posted Oct 5, 2020

To say privacy has gone from something most mobile developers kept in the back of their mind five years ago to one of the most important parts of their business is an understatement. Apple has placed the responsibility of consent on developers with a modal to track users or share device IDs with third parties. The changes are simple to implement for developers, but the impacts on the entire mobile ecosystem are complicated, and it’s worth taking time to understand these changes.

In addition to changes to targeting addressable audiences, brands with apps like food delivery, coffee, retail, and beyond, this change will impact you, too! Many brand apps didn’t realize the changes to their app install campaigns and still don’t know how to support SKAdNetwork requirements both on the campaign and the app development side. 

Apple may have delayed enforcement, but the requirements are still coming. Now is still the best time to discuss the coming changes and how you can use this extra time to learn, test, and experiment for success when Apple flips the enforcement switch!

iOS 14 is just around the corner, and developers continue to build, test, and adjust for the changes Apple’s latest operating system is bringing. However, there is one significant change many developers may not be taking seriously: Consent gathering for user data. Get familiar with the what, the why, and the how before Apple asks for iOS 14 submissions!  

This webinar will cover everything brand advertisers need to know about Apple’s privacy changes, and how to approach media buys on iOS apps going forward.
