Advertising ID

What is AD_ID?

An advertising ID, or ad_id, is a distinctive user identifier specifically assigned to a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet computer, as well as the operating environment associated with it. The primary purpose of an advertising ID is to facilitate personalized offers from advertising services. This unique identifier is instrumental in enabling advertisers and third-party entities to monitor and analyze the user's activities, preferences, and application usage.

The ad_id is often transmitted to advertisers and other external parties, allowing them to effectively track the user's movements and interactions across various platforms. This granular level of tracking provides valuable insights into user behavior, enabling advertisers to tailor their marketing strategies more precisely.
