Apple’s AppTrackingTransparency (ATT) framework makes it more difficult to target audiences at the user level on iOS devices, which is leading to alternatives, such as centering campaigns solely around programmatic advertising KPIs (key performance indicators), becoming more common in in-app programmatic campaigns. How do you bring campaign goals and KPIs to the forefront, and why is this beneficial for anyone running in-app programmatic ads?

Apple is now officially enforcing its AppTrackingTransparency (ATT) framework, as iOS 14.5 is presently live. With this change, apps will be required to prompt users to explicitly opt in to having data about them collected and shared for advertising purposes.

As a result of these changes, Apple’s device-level Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) will be largely unavailable for most iOS app users. What do these changes mean for in-app advertising attribution? How will advertisers focused on app installs and user acquisition be able to optimize, target and report if they no longer have user-level data? Let’s explore further.

Here’s what the survey…

In an effort to improve transparency in the programmatic mobile in-app advertising ecosystem, the IAB has released three key tech standards since 2019: app-ads.txt, sellers.json and the OpenRTB supply chain object (also sometimes known as Schain object). For all demand-side platforms (DSPs), it’s important to understand what each tech standard entails and how it benefits their operations:

• App-ads.txt: Ads.txt (Authorized Digital Sellers) is a solution that helps buyers identify authorized sellers in the programmatic world.
