Apple is making it a lot easier for users to opt-out of data collection with the iOS 14 update, here’s what it means

Users who update to iOS 14 will find it easier to opt-out of data collection. While that’s a win for users, it is going to make it a lot tougher for small businesses to optimize their ads.

As a result, Facebook is making some changes to its ad platform to better reflect the changes.

With this new update, Facebook ads managers will see changes to things like event tracking, measurement, and more.

It will have a significant impact on how brands and agencies set goals and optimize for conversions.

Stay tuned as we go through what these changes mean for your ads and how you can better prepare your ad account for these changes.
