Picking up from where the conversation headed in this website review request...
With Apple's drive towards user privacy, their latest updates on iPhone/iOS and their Safari web browser by default block tracking pixels. For Facebook in particular, as I've experienced this first hand, this makes tracking your Return on Investment for advertising (tracking sales from Facebook Ads) inaccurate. It's also makes things such as re-marketing a thing of the past, and demographic targeting less accurate too (as they cannot measure who your target market is based on your website sales activities).
I get the perceived value to members of the public, the wish to not have your website user behaviour tracked. The cynic in me is very much does it really matter, what you got to hide? As a heavy Google user myself with them knowing everything plus my inside leg measurement, I don't care and actually prefer to see targeted ads to my interests than random ones.
I also see this as a huge negative blow for businesses needing to promote and advertise their wears. If you cannot accurately measure your marketing spend, and cannot fine tune the targeting of your marketing spend, then especially small business with limited budgets at a time such as now are surely being heavily impacted by this.
Thoughts? Suggestions? What do you think?
