С объявлением Apple о расширенных положениях о конфиденциальности пользователей IDFA будет заменена платформой SKAdNetwork, предназначенной для мобильных маркетологов.
Во время своей ежегодной Всемирной конференции разработчиков (WWDC) в июне 2020 года Apple, как всегда, выпустила ряд изменений в свои устройства и операционные системы.
С выпуском iOS/iPadOS 14.3 любое новое или обновленное приложение должно иметь метку конфиденциальности, иначе оно не будет разрешено в App Store. Это требование относится не только к сторонним приложениям, но и к собственным программам Apple, таким как Apple Music, Apple TV и Apple Wallet, хотя встроенные приложения не включены.
Цель состоит в том, чтобы решить проблемы и вопросы конфиденциальности среди пользователей, тем более что разработчики приложений не всегда четко и точно объясняли, какие данные они собирают и как они их используют.
Но между блестящими обновлениями пользовательского интерфейса и новыми наклейками Memoji была серия обновлений конфиденциальности для iOS, которые более или менее устранили важный элемент мобильного маркетинга, ASO и измерения — Apple IDFA.
В этом сообщении блога мы рассмотрим изменения и их значение для мобильной рекламы в приложениях для iOS. 
Нажмите "Подробнее", чтобы развивать свой бизнес в области приложений и игр с помощью службы продвижения приложений ASO World прямо сейчас.
На WWDC 2020 Apple объявила о нескольких положениях, касающихся усиленной защиты конфиденциальности пользователей, и эти обновления будут выпущены с последней версией iOS 14 в сентябре этого года. ASO World на самом деле рано осознала, что это изменение грядет, и год назад начала активно разрабатывать стратегии для его решения, стремясь помочь коллегам из индустрии рекламных технологий быстро принять новые изменения и вступить в новую эру.
После обновления iOS14, если разработчик хочет получить IDFA пользователя для отслеживания рекламы, ему необходимо заранее получить разрешение пользователя, что может произойти при первом открытии приложения или в определенных сценариях, например при регистрации в приложение с трехсторонней учетной записью.
В следующий раз, когда вы попытаетесь загрузить приложение из App Store на свой iPhone или iPad, вы можете заметить новый раздел «Конфиденциальность приложения», в котором содержится информация о некоторых деталях. В частности, в этом разделе рассказывается, как данные из приложения могут использоваться для отслеживания вас, а также как эти данные будут собираться и связываться с вашей личностью. Это звучит как большое преимущество для пользователя, хотя некоторые разработчики приложений уже отказываются от нового требования.
Это изменение является хорошей новостью для потребителей, поскольку оно означает большую конфиденциальность. Это не конец света и для маркетологов; есть еще много способов добиться роста пользователей за счет данных.
Пользователи могут решить, отслеживать их или нет (акт авторизации приложения для получения IDFA). Если пользователь нажимает «Не разрешать отслеживание», эффект эквивалентен тому, что пользователь переходит к настройкам, чтобы отключить отслеживание рекламы ( Ограничьте отслеживание рекламы), поэтому получение IDFA практически невозможно. (Кстати, данные показывают, что около 10% пользователей активно отключают отслеживание рекламы в настройках)
Краеугольным камнем рынка бесплатных приложений является возможность собирать и продавать данные рекламодателям. Если вы не платите за продукт, вы и ваши данные являетесь продуктом. Эта функция конфиденциальности может серьезно ослабить бизнес таргетинга рекламы, что плохо для рекламодателей, но хорошо для пользователей.
Facebook, например, уже дает отпор, заявляя, что его Audience Network не будет использовать информацию IDFA из iOS, поскольку не может гарантировать ее ценность или точность. Это может снизить его доход на 50% — и неизвестно, смогут ли некоторые рекламные агентства полностью отказаться от Facebook.
Благодаря ужесточению правил, таких как GDPR и CCPA, мы стали замечать большую прозрачность в отношении того, какая информация используется для отслеживания пользователей. Это изменение открывает двери настежь, но действительно ли мы поворачиваем за угол в области безопасности и конфиденциальности данных? Будет ли Google — еще одна компания, на которую повлияет это изменение, — внести такое же изменение в телефоны Android?
Apple добавила таймер. Это изменение означает, что загрузки не обязательно записываются в режиме реального времени, предположительно для защиты конфиденциальности пользователей.
Фреймворк Apple SKAdNetwork по-прежнему дает очень положительные сигналы, поскольку эти улучшения не только означают, что Apple активно прислушивается к разработчикам приложений, но также представит инструменты, помогающие маркетологам выполнять более детальные операции.
24-часовой таймер SKAdNetwork запускается при первом вызове функции (обычно при первом запуске приложения). По истечении времени таймера ценность конверсии фиксируется. Хорошей новостью является то, что в некоторых случаях рекламодатели могут задерживать механизм блокировки таймера.
Расширение таймера
Некоторым рекламодателям требуется более 24 часов активности пользователя после установки для оптимизации кампаний. Одним из примеров может быть игровое приложение, где рекламодатель оптимизирует его на основе дохода за третий день.
Если увеличение ценности конверсии вызвано открытием приложения, таймер будет сброшен еще на 24 часа. Таким образом, теоретически рекламодатели могут продолжать сбрасывать таймер до двух месяцев.
Здесь следует рассмотреть три компромисса:
Задержка
таймера Задержка таймера позволяет измерять события, происходящие в нисходящей последовательности (например, подписки после 7-дневного пробного периода). Вы можете отложить запуск таймера при инициировании события, отложив первый вызов функций.
Задержка запроса таймера обеспечивает измерение выбранного события, но обратите внимание, что если пользователь выполняет отмену до того, как событие произойдет, обратные передачи не будут отправлены.
Ценность конверсии — это одно поле из 64 значений, которое должно содержать все детали пути пользователя. Это очень ограниченный ресурс, и многие рекламодатели не понимают, как его использовать. Здесь нет универсального подхода, и стратегия будет различаться между приложениями и ключевыми показателями эффективности.
Разделение битов используется для параллельного измерения нескольких KPI: доход, вовлеченность, конверсия, удержание и т. д. Рекламодатели могут выделять различное количество битов для каждого KPI, но важно помнить, что чем больше битов вы разделяете, тем менее детализированными будут данные KPI. быть.
С помощью этого метода вы можете определить неограниченное количество KPI и событий для каждого сегмента. Компромисс заключается в том, что вы не сможете декодировать значение обратно в конкретный KPI (например, доход). Это также требует, чтобы вы были чрезвычайно усердны в настройке этих 64 сегментов, гарантируя, что они охватывают весь диапазон пользователей приложения без дублирования. Каждый пользователь должен попадать только в один сегмент. В конце концов, если пользователь попадает более чем в один сегмент, он будет добавлен в сегмент случайным образом, и цель состоит в том, чтобы принимать оптимизированные маркетинговые решения, а не случайные.
Серверные решения для SKAdNetwork позволяют рекламодателям изменять конфигурацию ценности конверсии в облаке, где команда мгновенно отправляется в SDK. Это гарантирует, что логика клиента постоянно согласуется с желаемыми конфигурациями.
Компромисс? Каждое изменение конфигурации создает окно времени, когда невозможно определить, относятся ли входящие постбэки к старой конфигурации или к новой. Чтобы обойти это ограничение, выделите один из шести битов, чтобы указать, относится ли обратная передача к старой или новой конфигурации. Если вам нужна гибкость для частого изменения стратегий, вам придется пойти на компромисс в отношении уровня детализации KPI, который вы измеряете.
От вызова к возможности
SKAdNetwork ставит новые задачи перед маркетологами, но также предоставляет огромные возможности. Освоение всех битов и байтов значения конверсии, надлежащее планирование, тестирование и проверка предположений помогут вам создать значительное преимущество на высококонкурентном рынке.
SKAdNetwork может стать де-факто способом атрибуции мобильных приложений на устройствах Apple с выпуском iOS 14 в сентябре. IDFA от Apple — это основной идентификатор, используемый для отслеживания рекламы и атрибуции на iOS. Трудно представить, что пользователи согласятся на отслеживание в рекламных целях, если им будет предоставлен выбор. А без IDFA SKAdNetwork выглядит как будущее атрибуции мобильных приложений, а не как сноска.

@Brooke Guerrero Starting with iOS 14, Apple has introduced two new frameworks for attribution and ad measurement. First, Apple introduced the ATT (AppTrackingTransparency) framework, which manages access to the IDFA by requiring user consent. Apple introduced the SKAdNetwork in 2018, a different approach to campaign measurement where data at the user level is not available. With iOS 14 the SKAdNetwork framework will be updated to version two — as Apple attempts to ameliorate some of the impact of reducing developers’ access to the IDFA.
Tabitha Hardy
@Geoffrey Wade SKAdNetwork is another way to receive the attribution of advertising campaigns on iOS. Advertising networks must register with Apple, and developers must work to ensure that their apps are compatible with the registered networks and the new framework. However, SKAdNetwork poses some challenges for the methods mobile marketers currently use.
Bill Cannon
@Jennie Zimmerman As currently proposed, the SKAdNetwork provides 6-bits of downstream metrics with a first 24 hour timer. These six bits can change every time an event is triggered in-app, to a fresh six-bit event code defined within the app, extending the window by a further 24 hours. Once this event-window expires, a second 24 hour timer for attribution starts counting down. Within this 24 hour window, randomly, the SKAdNetwork returns the attribution data. The SKAdNetwork system shares this data in the aggregate, with no granular data accessible at the user level.
Bill Cannon
@Jennie Zimmerman The event codes can only progress upward. For example, if an app creates an event code for ‘Level One’ that reads 000001, then the user buys in-game currency, which is assigned a different value of 000011, and if this user later completes ‘Level Two’, the bits cannot be changed to 000010, since changes in only one direction are allowed. To avoid this, developers need to assign a bit value to each path or combination of possibilities, rather than to any individual event. The data tracked with SKAdNetwork and the granular, in-app events tracked by MMP-SDKs cannot be linked.
Bill Cannon
@Jennie Zimmerman SKAdNetwork is limited to 100 different campaigns per network. This may appear to be sufficient at first glance, as the average Adjust client runs 15 campaigns per network. However, there are often countless sub-campaigns for different geographies, device types or creatives. With SKAdNetwork, for example, the use of ten creatives in five countries would only allow two different campaigns per network.
Bill Cannon
@Jennie Zimmerman SKAdNetwork will require other changes for developers and marketers, since data delay of 24-48 hours (minimum) can hinder real-time optimization. Another shift will be in the area of ad fraud. The event conversion values mentioned earlier are unsigned, meaning that app developers will not be able to verify whether the event took place in the way that they are used to, opening the door for fraud.

@Don Delgado The full name of IDFA is Identifier for Advertising, which mainly used for ads tracking with user id identify. IDFA can be turned off or on, and is the only official permission Apple gives to advertisers to access user information. IDFA is turned off by default in iOS 14, but you can turn it on. 99% of iPhone users choose not to share IDFA, which is a major obstacle for digital media platforms to deliver accurate ads and blur the user profile. For users, you will receive far fewer personalized or relevant ads on your digital device. IDFA is very important to the advertising industry, it is a very important component for the display of advertising effects and the accurate description of user profiles. Once IDFA is closed, effect attribution, recommendation, wake up and identification of user identity, on which Internet advertising depends, will be difficult to achieve, and hundreds of millions of Internet advertising businesses around the world will be affected.
Russell Lynch
@Russell Lynch Although many Apple cell phone users who resent ad push support Apple's move, the fact is that on the one hand, based on Apple's advertising policy IDFA on or off does not affect the number of ad pushes. Some industry experts even said that closing IDFA will not make the ads less, but will only make them more flooded, because the ads cannot be placed with relative precision, but the ads cannot be left out, so they can only be "comprehensive coverage" and "high-frequency placement".
Russell Lynch
@Don Delgado The are several aspects that would be affect, it would be harder to re-target users, and access to high quality audiences. The ability to measure the value your ad spend is able to generate and the ability to test creatives at the ad level on networks such as Facebook will also be affected.

@Georgia Harper In 2021, Apple will be launching its new IDFA and SKAdNetwork requirements. This change may not be ideal for everyone, but it has a lot of potential to bring about some new growth opportunities. As with most new things, not having a clear path into exactly what is in store can be daunting, but we are breaking into something new and can only assume that with new adventures comes new opportunities.
Eunice Ortega
@Georgia Harper Whether you choose to embrace the changes coming to ad networks or choose to implement a hybrid of options, the new IDFA and SKAdNetwork requirements are coming and will likely involve significant benefits (and higher conversion value) for your search and advertised app products.
Steven Wade
@Roy Maxwell Apple’s SKAdNetwork is a way to preserve user privacy during mobile installs. It is a way to measure certain conversion rates of CPI or app install campaign IDs without sharing the identity of the user. But how does Apple achieve this within specific privacy parameters and without user identifiers?
Steven Wade
@Roy Maxwell Apple and the App Store serve as the primary facilitator. The view through attribution process takes place through the App Store and is authenticated through Apple’s servers. After that, it is removed and separated from anything that can identify the user and temporal information, which the ad networks then receive.
Joseph Mcbride
@Gretchen Lewis For publishers to stay relevant, they must adapt to and adopt the support of the SKAdNetwork. Suppose the majority of advertisers choose to use SKAdNetwork with Apple’s tracking and primarily utilize programmed advertising on iOS. In that case, SKAdNetwork inventory may be the only thing to bid on. Figuring out how to meet this demand and adapt to these changes in real time is imperative to ensure that no one misses out on ad tech revenue.
Antonio Garza
@Tommie Chandler These transformations from Apple could pose some problems for advertisers who utilize specific measurement tools for optimization, budgeting for campaigns, and reporting. Advertisers will need to use contextual marketing to understand which ad campaign performance is the best. There are a few things advertisers are asking themselves.
Aubrey Conner
@Frances Watson Mozilla's point is that resetting this identifier prevents advertisers from developing rather detailed profiles on users, and is simple to do. It's not a hardware identifier (such as the EMEI of your iPhone), but rather a number generated by your operating system.
Carolyn Mathis
@Jorge Schneider If you don't want to stop ad tracking altogether—you're getting ads anyway, might as well be relevant—you can navigate to those same screens and tap Reset advertising ID on Android or Reset Advertising Identifier on iOS to cycle your ad ID and essentially force advertisers to start a new profile on you.

@Pedro Oliver iOS has historically been a reliable choice for mobile markers, with revenue 82% higher than Android and strong retention rates across the board. But Liftoff’s research finds Apple’s IDFA changes might tip the scale in Android’s favor, with 80% of mobile marketers viewing the move as bad news for iOS. Nearly a third of those surveyed plan on shifting more spend to Android over iOS (29.4%) with another 44% considering it.
Casey Abbott
@Pedro Oliver Android is ready for its time in the spotlight. In the past year the platform has earned widespread favor from mobile users and marketers alike, chalking up more volume and more shoppers than iOS. New app releases on Android even outpaced iOS by a ratio of 3 to 1, driving 152% more app downloads with CPIs 4x lower than iOS.

@Randy George Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) was launched back in 2012 to create an individual user ID that could support cross-device data tracking for advertising by third-parties. ... iOS 14 now enables users to choose whether they want to share their precise location (as in the past), or a broader, less precise radius.
Henry Cummings
@Santiago Roberts Over 30% of iOS users chose to opt-out of tracking in 2020, and this is up 216% since 2016 according to research by analytics provider Singular. This trend shows that there is significant consumer demand for blocking tracking and ad personalization and could well be part of Apple’s motivation to make it the default setting. “We believe tracking should always be transparent and under your control,” said Katie Skinner, a manager for user privacy software at Apple, during its Web Developers Conference this summer. “So, moving forward, App Store policy will require apps to ask before tracking you across apps and websites owned by other companies.”
Henry Cummings
@Santiago Roberts On the other side of the mobile fence, tracking opt-outs on Android have plummeted since 2016, now hovering around 3%. Again, this strange discrepancy sheds doubt on whether or not Google will follow Apple on device tracking settings.

@Misty Ray The mobile ad market is worth over $300 billion and Apple owns about 27% of that, according to Digiday. If most users choose to opt-out, that could have a huge impact on the advertising industry’s access to Apple’s notoriously more affluent user base.
Winifred Roy
@Carroll West This will have very little if any impact on Invoca users. Invoca users typically track calls from mobile web and search activity, which does not have access to the IDFA anyway. This means that Invoca’s call tracking and conversational analytics functionality as it pertains to mobile web and searches on iOS will not be affected.

Juana Beck
@Angelo Reed By getting rid of the IDFA, Apple could make its platform more attractive to those who value privacy, consistent with the latest privacy-marketing ads for its iPhones and iPad. But the uproar from Apple's partners forced Apple to delay its move from mid-September, with the release of iOS 14, to sometime in early 2021.

Dixie Porter
@Ernest Brady The purpose of iOS Limit Ad Tracking (LAT) is to improve user privacy. Before iOS 10, when users actively selected LAT, the OS would send a “flag” indicating the user's wish. However, Apple's IDFA identifier was still there and not all companies honored the requests (this is still the case in Android).
Tony Jensen
@Sherri Lewis It’s not too difficult to understand how advertising identifier tech works. When a user clicks on an ad and opens the store, the network and the publishing app give it basic information such as campaign ID, network, and publisher. After that, the App Store sends a notification back to the network, indicating that the conversion event was successful.
Tony Jensen
@Sherri Lewis The notification is sent within 24 hours of the first launch and is entirely free of identifying user information or device information.
Tony Jensen
@Sherri Lewis The App Store runs the majority of this process, so the advertiser is unaware of the publisher and ad. The ad network will receive a notice indicating that an install has taken place without IDing the user and preserving the user’s privacy.

@Grace Bates Figure Out How You Want to Get Your Mobile Attribution Data Decide if You Will Guide Users Towards App Tracking Transparency Limitations of SKAdNetwork
Patricia Cortez
@Emmett Rhodes There are not really any direct alternatives to SKAdNetwork. What may happen is a mobile measurement partner (MMP) may choose to shift toward aggregated attribution solutions, which take deterministic and non-deterministic methods, differential privacy, and pieces from SKAdNetwork combined.
Patricia Cortez
@Emmett Rhodes With this in mind, utilizing a lot of SKAdNetwork data will need to be part of aggregated attribution to make it more accurate.
Patricia Cortez
@Emmett Rhodes There will be advertisers who do not want to work with the limitations of SKAdNetwork. So, MMPs will likely still continue to offer the infrastructure framework for both link building for tracking without SKAdNetwork and user routing for deep linking re-engagement.
Claire Campbell
@Marsha Salazar As mentioned previously, SKAdNetwork does present a few practical challenges in terms of advertisers. They are accustomed to obtaining data from attribution providers. Some of the other limitations of SKAdNetwork include:
Claire Campbell
@Marsha Salazar Granularity. Data is more limited to 100 ad campaigns on each network, per advertised app, and presents only at the campaign level.
Claire Campbell
@Marsha Salazar Advertiser Mistrust. Since data is primarily owned and reported by each individual ad network ID, the ad network is in charge of monitoring its own work. Advertisers obtain their data from other sources that tend to act more on their behalf.
Claire Campbell
@Marsha Salazar Risk of Fraud. Data is subject to easier manipulation, which can potentially increase the risk of ad fraud taking place.
Claire Campbell
@Marsha Salazar Limited ROI. The post-install notifications and notification features of SKAdNetwork are behind. They lack both in the real-time window in which app events are happening and measured and the commonality of app events.
Claire Campbell
@Marsha Salazar Delays. There is a delay window of a minimum of 24-48 hours between the time that an install takes place and when it gets reported, which can make it difficult for advertisers to work on the go.
Claire Campbell
@Marsha Salazar Linking and Attributions. The SKAdNetwork is currently not supporting deep linking and does not allow downloading as attributable.
