Deep dives
What remains unchanged in Scan 4.0
In Scan 4.0, there are a few things that have not changed significantly from the previous version. Firstly, the conversion values in Scan 3.2 are now called find conversion values in Scan 4.0. The naming has changed, but the convoluted system of timers and conversion values remains intact. If you already have a conversion schema setup in Scan 3.0, you don't need to make any changes for Scan 4.0. The second unchanged aspect is the mechanism of firing the conversion value post-back. Locked conversion values in Scan 4.0 function similarly to the finalizing of conversion values in Scan 3.0, using a random timer to send the post-back within 24 to 48 hours. So, despite the new terminology, the underlying mechanism remains the same.
Changes in campaign IDs and privacy thresholds
Scan 4.0 introduces some changes in terms of campaign IDs and privacy thresholds. Campaign IDs are now called source identifiers, and instead of having a limit of 100 campaigns, you can have up to 10,000 source identifiers ranging from two to four digits. This change allows for more granularity and flexibility in campaign dimensions. Privacy thresholds are now categorized as crowd and non-determining, but the concept remains unchanged. There are now four tiers of crowd and non-determining, ranging from 0 to 3, impacting the number of dimensions in the post-back and the granularity of conversion values. Apple has not disclosed the exact criteria for each tier, but understanding the mechanism of privacy thresholds in Scan 4.0 can be helpful for marketers.
