Tracking clicks is easy and non-invasive. Tracking exhibitions is basically impossible, even if the browser cooperates. So you either take the number of direct conversions the easy way, or you do some of the many causal research techniques later to try to discover indirect conversions.

The one thing that you can't reliably do, browser privacy or not, is gathering the useless number ad-companies currently rely on.



Tracking incremental conversions is possible with statistics but only if you know who saw your ads.
