Benoit Grouchko, who runs Teemo , a provider of location-based online advertising, says that around 2016, the percentage of users who allowed location tracking by apps they weren't using was close to 100%. However, this figure is because many users did not recognize the option of `` refusing location tracking by apps not in use '', so at the time of article creation, more than half of the users tracked location information in the background He refuses.
Paul Kasamias , an operating partner at media agency Starcom , points out that the growing tendency to refuse tracking by advertising companies has made it difficult for companies to measure the effectiveness of various campaigns. It seems that the percentage of users who collect information online and purchases in physical stores is becoming difficult to understand, and the effects of advertising are becoming unclear. Kasamias believes that this will likely result in Internet advertising spending reductions, especially by small and medium-sized advertisers.
While the reduction of location data sharing by Apple is progressing, the value of available location data is increasing, and the market size of location data is continuing to grow. Even so, it seems that the quality of location data is adversely affected, and in the past, although many “highly accurate location data” by smartphone GPS were available, in recent years it has been sourced from telecommunications carriers and other Internet protocols, Smith said that 'low-precision location data' was on the rise.
