The landscape of digital advertising attribution measurement is rapidly evolving. With the diminishing availability of third-party cookies and increasing restrictions from browsers and operating systems, advertisers face significant challenges in measuring attribution. These limitations drive a growing dependence on user-provided and consented personal information, such as email addresses, raising concerns about privacy and security.
To address this challenge, the IAB Tech Lab introduces the Attribution Data Matching Protocol (ADMaP). ADMaP is a privacy-centric protocol designed to safeguard personal data while delivering reliable attribution measurement through Data Clean Rooms (DCRs). By leveraging Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), ADMaP enables secure matching of user data between advertisers and publishers without exposing personally identifiable information (PII).
Key Features of ADMaP Protocol v1.0:
Use of authenticated and deterministic first-party data for attribution, ensuring necessary consent is obtained.
Interoperability between DCR providers, allowing for a standardized workflow that supports private attribution computations.
Flexibility to deploy proprietary attribution algorithms within a standardized framework.
Focus on protecting user privacy through advanced security measures.
This specification is crucial for engineers and product managers working with first-party data and attribution solutions. It provides detailed guidance on structuring and formatting inputs for mapping and attribution operations, protecting user privacy, and implementing secure, reliable attribution mechanisms.
While C Wire does not measure attribution, we do believe that in order to take full advantage of the available reach, measurement is crucial to accurately measure outcomes from campaigns running through our technology. Therefore, we highly encourage any initiative capable of improving measurement on cookieless environments.
The ADMaP protocol is open for public comment until November 14, 2024. If you have a technical background, feel free to review the document and share feedback to support@iabtechlab.com.
Office presence has quietly become one of the hardest leadership questions to solve. As teams spread across cities and countries, flexibility increases but so does the risk of fragmentation. At C Wire, we’re experimenting with a model that combines distributed work with intentional moments of physical collaboration, including yearly offsites and dedicated collaboration days. Not because tools aren’t good enough, but because trust, culture, and informal communication still happen best when people share the same space. There may not be a perfect formula, but there are better questions leaders should be asking.
Apple is restoring The Trade Desk’s access to Safari, while the sync domains behind UID2, ID5, LiveRamp, Permutive and Audigent remain blocked on iOS 27. Here’s what that means for the reach and measurement of ID-based campaigns, and how to build plans that hold up as the list grows.
Every YouTube tool we know starts from the inventory and sorts it. We start from the brand, build the personas, and let the videos follow. Here is what that changes, and what it does not.
