Adapting to Privacy Changes: Our Approach to Google’s Transparency Consent Framework and Apple’s Privacy Manifest

By Jessica Dibady·Jan 30, 2024·5 min read

Summary

Starting January 2024, Google mandates mobile app publishers to implement Transparency and Consent Framework 2.2 for ads in EEA and UK, requiring consent management platforms supporting Additional Consent mode. Simultaneously, Apple enforces Privacy Manifest requirements from May 2024, including declared API usage reasons and data collection categories, with potential App Store rejection for non-compliance. Liftoff Monetize provides solutions through GDPR API integration for Google compliance and SDK v7.3.1 with built-in Privacy Manifest support for Apple requirements.

Introducing the Device Usage dashboard | Adjust

Adjust's Device Usage dashboard in Datascape gives ad ops teams a prebuilt view of how active users are distributed across app versions, OS versions, SDK versions, and iOS ATT status, plus dimensions like device type, country, language, and date. The core insight is that release impact can lag because users update over days or weeks; segmenting DAU by version explains flat or shifting metrics. Teams can track SDK and app-version adoption, compare OS behavior, identify stale versions, and add device/country context to performance analysis. Actionable takeaway: use the dashboard before and after releases or SDK rollouts to validate adoption, isolate version-specific issues, and contextualize attribution and engagement trends.

Measure installs across more app stores | Adjust

Adjust has expanded store detection and verification across multiple app storefronts, making Store Type the primary dimension for identifying where an install originated rather than relying on platform or OS alone. For ad ops teams, this means campaign performance can now be analyzed at the store level across Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps, Samsung Galaxy Store, Vivo Appstore, and Google Play variants, with independent verification of install origin. Newly detected stores are flagged in AppView with a direct route to configuration, and store-level data flows automatically into reporting, raw data, callbacks, and CSV exports, plus Conversion Rules via Store Rule conditions.

Omnichannel Analytics Explained

Omnichannel analytics unifies customer behavior and campaign performance across mobile, web, CTV, and AI search into one identity, one attribution model, and one ROAS number. The core problem: a single customer seen on three surfaces becomes three users, inflating performance and corrupting attribution, LTV, and retention. Stitching channel reports into one dashboard is not unification—each channel keeps its own attribution logic, so conversions get double-counted and upper-funnel spend looks unproductive. For ad ops leaders, the takeaway is that identity resolution (deterministic plus probabilistic, privacy-safe) must happen at the data layer before any dashboard exists. Platform choice hinges on surface coverage, identity resolution, compliance, incrementality testing, and migration support.
