Understanding Google's Privacy Control Changes: Impact on Ad Measurement

On June 15, Google is removing a privacy control many advertisers relied on.
On the surface, this looks straightforward: a setting disappears, one control replaces two, less confusion. Google describes it as cleaner governance, and at first glance, that reads as routine housekeeping. But removing that setting forces every advertiser into a choice they may not have realized they were making.

Option 1: Allow ad data to flow → Google Ads performs well.
Option 2: Restrict it → Google Ads loses the signals it needs to optimize: for bidding, for audiences, for attribution. Google's own documentation is explicit: setting ad_storage to "denied" will "significantly impact advertising measurement."

What sounds like a minor update, isn't.

👉 In our new blog post, we break down what changes on June 15, what it reveals about your measurement setup and what you need to do now:
