Quotes:

(5:20) “We’ve seen surprising results. Opt-in rates since ATT started around 20% but have gone up over time. I think this has gone up to around 40% consent across the app ecosystem.”

(10:15-10:46) “In the end, the idea behind the Protected Audiences API is that we can manage cohorts of users that you would want to perhaps re-engage later on the device. So every user can be registered within their own device to different cohorts, which can later be accessed by targeting ad networks on different publishers – and all of it without sharing a single identifier across the web.”

(11:46-12:18) “Apple only took care of measurement, which is SKAN 4.0. AdAttributionKit is just an advancement of the measurement use cases. There is no remarketing solution by iOS. One can only hope. And actually, they did introduce retargeting measurement with AdAttributionKit, which might give us a little bit of hope that retargeting tools are to follow.”
