Apple’s new privacy policy interrupts the digital advertising market
Apple adjusted its user privacy protection policy, US e-commerce Amazon has a better deal with this change than competitors Facebook and Snap and is expected to become a winner in the field of digital advertising.
Amazon’s huge customer shopping database reduces the dependence of its advertising business on user tracking information. After Apple adjusted its privacy policy, the iOS mobile operating system began to restrict the user tracking information provided.
Moreover, Alphabet’s Google also collects rich data on users’ search habits. Google’s advertising revenue surged 41% in the third quarter, indicating that companies that rely less on targeted advertising can overcome Apple’s restrictions on tracking mobile user information.
Amazon will announce its financial report this Thursday, but will not list advertising revenue, but will place it in the “other” business unit.
” Google and Amazon are not so dependent on cookies,” said Eduardo Cruz (Eduardo Cruz), business performance marketing manager at SupplyKick, a market research company.
“For brands that sell physical products, Amazon advertising is a powerful way to increase user purchases, increase consumer interest in products, and reach customers.”
In April of this year, Apple prevented advertisers from tracking iPhone user information without user consent, eroding the digital advertising market share once occupied by Facebook, Instagram, and Snap. Since then, Apple’s advertising business has grown substantially.

Apple will also announce its fourth-quarter financial report on Thursday. Data Report shows that most Facebook users access social networking platforms through mobile devices. In July, nearly 15% of adults used iPhones and iPads to open social media applications.
Twitter’s advertising revenue is in line with expectations. The company also relies on targeted advertising, but not as much as Facebook. Wall Street analysts said that because most of the advertising business on Twitter comes from brands, rather than direct advertising, the company is in a better position than Facebook or Snap in overcoming changes in Apple’s privacy policy.
“This is the beginning of a transition and will continue for several quarters,” said Andrew Lipsman, chief analyst of e-commerce marketing at market research firm Insider Intelligence.
“The strengths of different companies that we have seen in the past few quarters are still there, but some changes are starting to occur in the share of different players.”
