Common Mistakes

  • 1 Not requesting ATT permission on iOS before collecting IDFA, leading to zero attribution data
  • 2 Failing to configure IP anonymisation for EU users when required by the DPA
  • 3 Sending raw user-level data to advertising networks without consent for cross-network attribution

Compliance Considerations

Processes device identifiers (IDFA/GAID), IP addresses, and attribution data. Subject to Apple ATT framework requirements on iOS — must request tracking permission via the ATT prompt. EU processing requires consent for advertising measurement under ePrivacy.

Amazon Ads

High Amazon Ads

Amazon Ads (formerly Amazon Advertising) provides a JavaScript pixel and conversion tracking tag that measures user actions on advertiser websites and sends data back to Amazon's demand-side platform (DSP) and sponsored ads ecosystem. The Amazon ad tag enables conversion attribution, audience building, and retargeting across Amazon's owned properties and its extensive third-party publisher network. Amazon's advertising business has grown rapidly to become the third-largest digital advertising platform globally behind Google and Meta. The Amazon Ads pixel is increasingly found on e-commerce, retail, and consumer goods websites, and its integration with Amazon's vast consumer data ecosystem raises significant governance considerations for regulated organisations.
