We're back from the break and get into why “perfect” attribution doesn’t exist, especially as most customer journeys include multiple touchpoints beyond last-click channels like Google Ads and Meta. We explain cookies and why third-party cookies aren’t fully disappearing, highlighting how platform ecosystems and privacy controls affect measurement, and why first-party and server-side tracking are more robust and legally workable when data stays with the business. Ben warns that platform dashboards can inflate conversions and recommends validating with independent attribution tools (particularly at larger budgets), or even better, asking customers directly—without forcing a single-channel answer.
