Privacy-First Cross-Device Attribution
Cross-device attribution must work across devices while respecting privacy regulations and not being overly reliant on any single company's ecosystem. With third-party cookies going away, businesses are looking for new ways to achieve accurate attribution without sacrificing privacy.
Navigating Privacy Regulations
Contemporary attribution calls for balance between tracking and privacy regulations. Data cannot be collected and used as freely as before, given privacy regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), particularly for third-party cookies.
In contrast, proposals such as Google's Privacy Sandbox seek to offer a way for ad targeting to happen while also maintaining privacy by restricting tracking to mechanisms approved by the user. Consent management matures as well, with the need for granular user consent when it comes to data collection and attribution, advanced systems that respect what a person allows through compliant data modeling techniques.
First-Party Data Strategies
In an era of raised privacy standards, first-party data — or data collected directly from customers — is becoming increasingly important. The confidence of businesses in their cross-device attribution data also increases when they successfully gather first-party data via registrations, loyalty programs, or direct interactions.
Effective strategies include:
- Encouraging account creation through rewards or exclusive content mechanisms
- Providing transparent value for customer data
- Gradually profiling customers once getting to know them better over time
- Keeping data collection as flexible as possible in terms of the type and structure of data collected across platforms
This information can be used for privacy-compliant attribution with identifiers that the users have explicitly provided and may improve attribution accuracy without dependence on third-party cookies.
