Hosted by our partner LMT (Latvijas Mobilais Telefons) in Riga - Latvia, the workshop will bring together analytics experts from across the ETIS community to discuss the most pressing issues telecom operators are facing in the fast-evolving landscape of web and app analytics.


This meeting will uniquely combine the perspectives of technical experts and business professionals, creating a valuable space where both sides can collaborate. By bridging these perspectives, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how business functions can leverage data insights. Without integrating both technical and business viewpoints, we risk missing out on the full benefits that data can provide.


The workshop will feature a mix of roundtables to encourage interactive discussions, with participants sharing best practices, addressing specific challenges, and developing practical solutions. There will also be an opportunity to explore the reasons behind different organizational setups and communication strategies, whether these approaches were intentionally designed or evolved out of necessity. Understanding the rationale and challenges behind these situations, including organizational and process-related factors, will provide insights into optimizing strategies.


Topics covered will include data quality, insights communication, A/B tests, and data-driven decision-making. The detailed agenda is available below. Participants are expected to prepare for all sessions and bring relevant insights. Any delivery form, such as PowerPoint, reports, videos, or demos, is welcome.


In addition to the discussions, participants will enjoy an evening city tour and dinner aimed to foster the community spirit outside of the meeting room.

Session 3: Data Governance, Cookies, and Consent (Technical Focus)

Format: roundtable discussion (on the technical aspects of data governance, cookie management, and consent strategies)

The conversation will explore the challenges and solutions related to tracking user consent, particularly in the context of restrictive platforms like Apple's iOS, which enforces stringent privacy measures. While most website visitors (80-90%) typically consent to tracking, consent rates are significantly lower on iOS apps, complicating web analytics and user tracking.

Topics to be covered include:
• Strategies for data governance and consent management across different platforms.
• Consent setup and management processes, with a focus on challenges unique to iOS apps.
• Using Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in offsite marketing while adhering to privacy regulations.
