Terminology: Identification Technologies Defined
- Pixel and Beacon Tracking Methods: these are tiny files used alongside cookies and embedded in webpages, apps, or advertisements. They help identify returning users by recognizing device details such as browser type, IP address, and operating system. Pixels enable third parties to set and access browser cookies from domains they do not control, allowing them to gather information about visitors to those sites. Additionally, pixels collect anonymous data about users’ on-site behavior.
- Client-Side Data Storage: a place where data from browsers, third parties, advertisements, and websites is saved on your device.
- Software Development Kits (SDKs): These operate within mobile applications and function similarly to cookies and pixels. Developer partners can collect various types of information from users through SDKs.
