In recent years, Snowden’s updates with the NSA brought to the limelight a lot of social media firms that used tracking software to provide advertisements and bring forth more precise marketing to the advertisement agencies. However, this was considered as an infringement of digital privacy, and after a long-standing case, Facebook emerged on top but had to include settings to provide the option of excluding out of the collection of information.
Unexpectedly, Apple stepped in and introduced the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) Update that made sure that no app is allowed to track the data of the users, and this brought difficulties for Facebook and the associates that were using this information for targeted advertisement. This had Facebook spurt into action for forming updates and policies to counter the lack of information and data.
Facebook decided to introduce a different modeling procedure to make way for the lack of analysis and insight. Last week, Facebook sent the updated policy to the advertisers (as highlighted by Kurt Bullock and shared by SMT) that introduced a few changes in the policy that allowed easier access to the changes that are required to be made by advertisers.
The first update that the tech giant brought ended the waiting time to update the focus of the campaign without having to wait for the 72 hours that were previously required to wait for the change. This also allowed them to not have to pause and reset the campaign manually. The advertisers can do it while the campaign is still in action.
However, the advertisers can only make one change every 72 hours to the focus event of the campaign so that Facebook can effectively optimize the event with their analysis and details.
The second change of the social media firm was specific to the attribution window and the time has been levied to 7 days to account for the loss of data. This 7-day window allows advertisers to approach the customers for 7 days without having their ads changed. This in second to nudge theory can prove to be very fruitful for the advertisers and reward more than what the loss was due to data.
The third and final update was in regards to android users where Facebook has granted more resources and options for campaigning to android users. This update would make the advertisement campaign more pinpoint towards the preferred audience however, it fails to accommodate anything in favor of the iOS users.
Even though these updates are detailed and hard to comprehend these are definitely in line with various actions and benefits for the advertisers over the long run. The complexities of these updates have no effect to the advertisers who seem content with the new updates to account for the lack of data due to the ATT.
