Google Ads Latest Updates – How Will They Affect Google Ads Management

As an advertiser or a Google Ads account owner, you should be aware of recent updates that will influence how conversions are measured. Anyone with a G Ads account will see these changes being made and take them into account for effective Google Ads management.

What Types of Changes Can You Expect?

The global site tag is known as gtag.js and the Google Tag Manager, commonly known as gtm.js, is updated. The changes include setting a new first-party cookie onto the web domains owned by advertisers. This will allow the conversions to be attributed back to the ads that are being run on these sites.

When Will These Changes Take Effect?

?These changes are to take effect starting in May 2021. At that time, the first-party cookies will be set along with the new identifier. This identifier is unique and will be limited to users on your website only. 

This change has been implemented to improve conversion measurement accuracy. It is considered to be a positive step forward. If you have any concerns with the first party cookie and its tracking you can opt out of all of the tracking at any time. You simply need to go to the Help Center to receive detailed instructions for disabling the conversion linking inside your configuration.

Safeguarding Your Website for These New Changes

It's even more important now than ever before to ensure that you're always providing visitors and users on your site with comprehensive and clear information about the data you are collecting. You must also make sure that you are obtaining consent for this data collection wherever it is legally required to do so.
