Modeled Conversions
Conversions estimated by platforms using machine learning to fill gaps when consent, cookies or device tracking prevent direct observation.

Short answer
Modeled conversions are conversions that ad and analytics platforms estimate using machine learning to fill gaps when consent choices, cookie restrictions or cross-device journeys prevent direct observation. They are based on patterns from observable users. Modeling restores a more complete picture of performance, though the figures are estimates rather than individually recorded events.
