🧵 Browser tracking is broken in more ways than most people realize. It's not just iOS 14. Thread:
1/ Safari ITP deletes your cookies after 7 days. Customer visits in week 1, buys in week 2 — sale shows as "Direct." Your email and SEO get zero credit.
2/ Firefox blocks third-party tracking by default. GA4 samples data at scale. Cookie banners create partial blind spots. Layer these together and you're missing a lot.
3/ The loop this creates: Facebook sees bad ROAS → stops showing your ad → you pause it thinking it doesn't convert → 4 in 10 real buyers were never tracked.
1/ When Apple released iOS 14, it killed Meta Pixel tracking for every iPhone user who chose "Ask App Not to Track." That's a big chunk of your buyers — invisible to Facebook.

So:
Plan → Build → THEN run ads.
That’s how you spend less & earn more.

– Running ads
– Designing logos
– Building a website
But without a foundation, these are just surface-level.
Like building a house with no base → it won’t stand.
