What is the IDFA?
IDFA = identifier for advertisers on Apple iOS
• Similar to an advertising cookie, but cross-domain by nature
• IDFA powers the iOS advertising industry:
• User tracking
• Last-Touch & Multi-Touch Attribution
• Targeting
• Device Graphs
Rumor has it...
The IDFA may be going away
UDID → IDFA → Now what?
• Last-Touch Mobile Attribution
• Multi-Touch Attribution
• People-Based Attribution
• Fraud Prevention
• Campaign Optimization
• Retargeting

Spoiler about Fingerprinting
Apple recently created a document about their Tracking Prevention Policy on Web:
Policy Circumvention
We treat circumvention of shipping anti-tracking measures with the same seriousness as
exploitation of security vulnerabilities.
If a party attempts prior notice. These restrictions may apply universally; to algorithmically
classified targets; or to specific parties engaging in circumvention.

Fraud Prevention
NO IDFA
• IDFA is the main mechanism to associate marketing touchpoints with installs
• Hard for Fraudsters to generate the right ones
• The data accessible is limited:
• IP
• User-Agent
• HTTP Referrer
• There is no “Google Play Install Referrer” equivalent
Campaign Optimization
TODAY
• 99% of media sources receives conversion data to help it optimize:
• Postbacks with IDFA on mobile apps
• Conversion pixels on web
• Offline syncs
Campaign Optimization
NO IDFA
• Media sources won’t know if the users they drove are successful
• So...
• What happens to every ad networks’ ability to understand ROAS on the campaigns?
• Creative optimization? Publisher blacklisting?
• What happens to all the brains behind UAC?
• What happens to Facebook’s AEO/VO/MAI optimizations?
