Transcripts

KASIM:

Shots fired by Apple yet again.

KASIM:

iOS 17 automatically removes tracking parameters from links you click on.

KASIM:

Now, we knew this was gonna happen in mail-in Messenger, but they're extending

KASIM:

it or maybe they're not extending it.

KASIM:

Maybe I just didn't realize that this was part of the plan.

KASIM:

Link tracking protection this is words are so important.

KASIM:

Patriot Act link tracking protection is a new feature automatically

KASIM:

activated in mail messages and safari.

KASIM:

In private browsing mode.

KASIM:

That's the important distinction.

KASIM:

It detects user identifiable tracking parameters and link URLs

KASIM:

and automatically removes them.

KASIM:

So here's the before BAM tracking URLs.

KASIM:

Here's the after.

KASIM:

Now they, apple does offer advertisers private click measurement, which

KASIM:

allows advertisers to track ad campaign conversion metrics, but does

KASIM:

not reveal individual user activity.

KASIM:

Here's what I think is really interesting.

KASIM:

One the metrics that they're offering are aggregated metrics and the individual user

KASIM:

activities, that's what you wanna track.

KASIM:

Two, it wouldn't surprise me at all if we find out that safari private

KASIM:

browsing road mode becomes the default.

KASIM:

Is that already the case is private browsing mode.

KASIM:

The default in Safari.

KASIM:

it's not.

KASIM:

I bet you it becomes the default, or at least you are strongly incentivized

KASIM:

to use private browsing mode.

KASIM:

Now the question is this is, Apple trying to protect your privacy or it is Apple

KASIM:

trying to strip its yet to be competitors of data so that it can launch its own

KASIM:

ad platform and then just crush them.

KASIM:

I have my opinions, I'd be interested in yours.

KASIM:

I'd also be interested in what you think the impacts are of losing this data.

KASIM:

Because if we're only gonna lose it when people are browsing in Safari

KASIM:

private browsing mode, I don't think that that's a catastrophic

KASIM:

error from an ads perspective.

KASIM:

I think it sucks if you're in the email space, man, I can't even imagine.

KASIM:

I know Apple already killed, like open and click through rate.

KASIM:

Data too, which is kind of aligned with this, but interesting

KASIM:

approach for them to take.

KASIM:

Not at all surprised.

KASIM:

I think that these privacy first initiatives are going to continue coming.

KASIM:

Not, I think, of course, like they're very, very, very bullish on this point.

KASIM:

And as marketers, we're just gonna have to keep rolling with the punches.

KASIM:

So would love your take what you think.

KASIM:

Curious, who uses Safari private browsing mode as a default?

KASIM:

Like, if this is just the way that you browse, I'd, I'd love to know from you.

KASIM:

I'll use the Chrome private browsing, but that's if I don't want, like, I'm trying

KASIM:

to, view a site where I've cleared cookies in case or something, or I just don't

KASIM:

want people to see what I'm searching for.

KASIM:

But I wouldn't use it as a default, so I'm hoping that that kind of keeps us safe.

KASIM:

Anyway, love your opinions.
