In plain English

Meta has switched on a new pixel setting called "Measure conversions on customer devices". It moves some conversion tracking from Meta's servers onto the shopper's own device. It's on by default and starts measuring on 12 November 2026, just before Black Friday. It doesn't apply to UK and EU traffic, so it mainly affects brands selling abroad.

Why it matters

Meta may report more conversions without your store orders changing. When judging Black Friday, compare Meta's numbers with the orders in your store.

What to do

    The setting is on by default. You'll find it in Events Manager, under your pixel's Settings. It doesn't apply to UK and EU traffic, so it mainly matters if you sell abroad.

  2. Mark 12 November in your reportsYour marketing team

    Add a note to your reporting so a jump in Meta conversions from that date isn't mistaken for better ad performance.

  3. Judge Black Friday on your store ordersYour marketing team

    Compare Meta's reported sales with the orders in your store before deciding what worked.
