The changing digital ads ecosystem

  • Consumer Expectations

    People want to be in control of their data and expect it to stay secure, private, and unexploited.

  • Regulations

    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.

Key regulations where you are

We recommend researching which privacy regulations apply to your business and seeking legal counsel to stay up to date on the evolving regulatory landscape in your market. Here are a couple regulations to consider:

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The CCPA is a data privacy law applicable to certain businesses that collect personal information from California residents. Access more information on the CCPA.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The GDPR specifies requirements for businesses established or operating in Europe, and regulates how they collect, use, and store data. Learn more about Google’s EU user consent policy. Google is always working to stay compliant with regulations like these to help make compliance easier for your business.

These changes could impact ad performance

Without proactive measures, regulatory and technology changes could affect your ability to reach relevant audiences, measure their marketing performance, and win customer trust.

  • Measurement

    Ad and analytics platforms may lose conversion tracking data for same-device and cross-device conversions.

  • Audiences

    Restrictions on third-party cookies can make remarketing lists smaller, impacting your 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 risk losing customer trust.
