FAQs for Snap Conversions API

What are third-party cookies?

Websites use cookies to remember a user’s actions and preferences, so they aren’t asked to perform a task again and again. As a result, they help provide a better, more personalized user experience. These cookies are used for:
  1. Retargeting
  2. Ad Serving
  3. Personalization
  4. Measurement

What are are the challenges with current usage of third-party cookies and pixel:

Third Party cookies globally have been deprecated across iOS devices and browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, etc. This results in weak tracking as browser pixels are becoming obsolete, resulting in almost 45-65% loss in signals, especially in MENA region. If these users don’t get tracked, performance marketing campaigns wont bring the desired output. Following are the effects:
  1. Attribution discrepancy in Snap Ads Manager
  2. Loss in audience tracking or reach
  3. Loss in Ads personalization
  4. Decline in performance measurement metrics like Return on Ad Spends (ROAS) and Cost per Action (CPA)
Moving away from browser pixel reliance is the only option to future proof the tracking. Snap’s Conversions API (CAPI) is a structured, privacy-centric interface that allows you to directly pass web/browser events to Snap via a Server-to-Server (S2S) integration. This helps our system to optimize your ad campaigns, improve your targeting and measure the conversions that resulted from your Snapchat campaigns.

Benefits of CAPI:
  1. Privacy centric – choose what identifiers to be sent in a completely secure and encrypted manner
  2. Stronger optimization – With CAPI, Snap algorithms get more data to work with which helps in campaign optimization and better CPA
  3. Holistic retargeting – Create lookalikes, re-engage with your existing customers
  4. Improved measurement – Unlock better value-for-money by optimizing digital campaigns
