Quotes

  • “So Facebook conversion API takes the data you feed to Facebook and allows Facebook to record conversions that happened after somebody sold the ad, click the ad or this something else on the web properties or somewhere else.”

  • “So instead of allowing Facebook to collect the data on your platform, you can aggregate it yourself and send it.”

  • “...there are two data points that are accessible to all the advertisers without collecting personal data. That's more important. And then sharing personal data with Facebook. Those two data points are Facebook click that comes with every click from Facebook and then a Facebook user ID that sits there in that Facebook cookie.”

  • “And pixels are going to die very soon and thats why the switch to Facebook conversion API. Its just part of the evolution.”

  • “...the responsibility for collecting and sharing information is put on the advertiser and some tools like for example, right track, we do not collect any personal identifiable information.”

  • “But here in Europe, any site you go to actually asks your permission to process information. You can choose what data you allow them to collect and share and what data you would not allow them to share.”
