FLoC is coming — Here’s what we know so far

FLoC
Read the article here.

Google announced that it would not build or use alternate identifiers to track users for advertising purposes. Instead, the company reiterated that its ads will be driven by one of its Privacy Sandbox initiatives, called Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC). FLoC is a method for browsers to enable interest-based advertising. It works by gathering data about a user’s browsing habits and then clustering groups of users with similar interests into cohorts. Information about the cohort is then shared for advertising purposes. Despite the many uncertainties surrounding Google’s replacement for third-party cookies, there are still ways that you can position your agency and your clients to hit the ground running when the changes finally occur:

  • Collect your own data
  • Communicate the changes to your clients
  • Keep up to date with the news

Google’s Ads Safety Report Indicates an Increase in Malicious Behavior in 2020

By Amy Bishop | Mar 17, 2021

Read the article here.

Google released their 10th annual Ads Safety Report, designed to prevent the malicious use of Google’s ads platforms, including those that misrepresent, mislead, or threaten users’ safety. Of the 3.1 billion ads blocked in 2020, over 867 million ads were blocked for attempting to evade detection systems, and an additional 101 million ads were blocked for breaking misrepresentation policies. To prevent future malicious behaviors, Google’s team follows this process:

  1. Human reviewers identify and label policy-violating ads.
  2. Engineers create machine learning models using the policy-violating ads to identify signals of malicious behavior.
  3. The system uses the machine learning models based upon the network signals they’ve identified to flag similar ads.
  4. Models are continuously improved over time.
