Description

The Attribution Reporting API makes it possible to measure when an ad click or view leads to a conversion on an advertiser site, such as a sale or a sign-up. The API doesn't rely on third-party cookies or mechanisms that can be used to identify individual users across sites. The API enables two types of attribution reports:

Description

Currently, the Attribution Reporting API supports attributing events within a single browser instance. This proposal expands the scope of attribution to allow attributing conversions that happen on the web to events that happen off the browser on the same device, within other applications such as mobile applications, or vice-versa.

The proposal here takes advantage of OS-level support for attribution. In particular, it gives the developer an option to allow events on the mobile web to be joinable with events in Android’s Privacy Sandbox, although support for other platforms could also be implemented in the future.

@linnan-github your comment is rather confusing. What are you trying to achieve?

We're also requesting WebKit position on Cross App and Web Attribution Measurement, which is an extension to the Attribution Reporting API. Updated the comment to be clear, thanks!

Could you either fold that into the original request or open a new issue? Our system isn't equipped to handle additional requests in subsequent comments.

It also seems a bit weird to add that request without responding to the feedback @hober already gave on the initial proposal.

Opened a new issue https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/307 for this request, thanks!
