As we continue to focus on a marketer\u2019s viability and presence on the App Store, we are making a series of additional network requirements on the ad engagement side to complement our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/apples-apptrackingtransparency-att-framework-and-you\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">marketer tools <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">that comply with both the spirit and letter of Apple\u2019s new policies.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More specifically, Kochava needs to identify and treat ad signals in accordance with the same fidelity we do in how we collect information through our measurement software development kit (SDK). This will also allow us to continue performing probabilistic attribution ONLY on ad interactions that happened on the web (mobile or desktop) wherein the user consents to tracking in the target app. The integration platforms impacted are iOS and web integrations on both the click and impression templates.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In preparation for enforcement of Apple\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/glossary-apptrackingtransparency\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">AppTrackingTransparency (ATT)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> framework, Kochava will determine ad signal attribution eligibility. DSPs and ad networks have a number of decisions and preparations to make in order for Kochava to perform attribution of iOS 14.5 campaigns. Networks and DSPs, please review the changes below and advertisers, please ensure your media channel partners have made these changes to ensure maximum marketing insight retention.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;padding-top: 40px\">Action items for DPS\/ad networks integrated with Kochava:<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are sending a user agent to (and you are doing the redirect), Kochava can parse a valid OS version that reflects the user\u2019s device.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add \u201cad_platform\u201d and \u201catt\u201d plus three additional but optional ATT-related parameters for iOS, web (click and impression) templates.
