PROTECT YOUR COOKIES FROM ITP
Increase your cookie duration
& fix your marketing attribution
COOKIES?
Your analytics knows from which campaign a user was acquired through a cookie installed on the browser by Google Analytics. With this cookie each session leading up to a sale can be connected to a user. Google Analytics can then combine this data and attribute a sale to a campaign or channel.
Knowing from which campaign or channel a sale comes from is essential for any marketeer as it is the basis to optimize your channels, campaigns, keywords and other marketing ads.
THE PROBLEM
Safari have implemented Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), limiting the expiration date of cookies placed by third parties such as Google Analytics to 7 days. Firefox implemented something similar, called ETP, with roughly the same consequence.
The consequence is that any sale done after 7 days will not be connected to the original campaign that the user has arrived through. When analysing your data, you will notice that your marketing campaigns seem to generate less revenue. And optimizing your marketing with incomplete data will not lead to any decent results.
With Safari and Firefox; sales done 7 days after the advertisement will not be attributed to the campaign
