Retargeting After Privacy Changes
Retargeting changed, but still works.
Adapt
Server-side tracking, engagement audiences, email and SMS lists.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Running ads without conversion tracking
- Letting the agency own your ad accounts
- Spreading a small budget across too many channels
- Changing too many things at once, so you can't tell what worked
Quick checklist before you start
- Weekly review of results and search terms
- Conversion tracking tested end to end
- Landing page that matches the offer
- A follow-up process for every enquiry
- Clear goal and budget for the next three months
Key takeaway
How retargeting works after iOS privacy changes and cookie restrictions: first-party data, Conversions API, engaged audiences and creative. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
