Cross-device attribution challenge
What is cross-device and what is challenging about it?
Cross-device and cross-browser attribution seeks to understand the influence of marketing activities across various devices and browsers. In theory, it paints a complete picture of a user’s journey. In practice, it’s unrealistic because:
- Cookies are device and browser-specific, so they don’t work across devices.
- Not every user logs in every time they use a platform or device.
- Tightening privacy regulations limit tracking across devices (iOS 14.5 for example).
How to solve cross-device and cross-browser?
Multi-touch and other traditional attribution models struggle with cross-device and cross-browsers. However, there are measurement solutions that don’t rely on piecing together all touch-points, like SegmentStream’s beyond-cookie attribution.
It integrates machine learning with 1st-party data to fill the gaps left by limitations in tracking across different devices and browsers.
