Advertising identifier

Also called IFA, IDFA, GAID.

A resettable, per-device identifier for advertising, available only where the user allowed it.

On iOS it is the IDFA behind App Tracking Transparency; on Android the GAID; CTV platforms have their own. Where absent, buyers fall back to context. An ad server passes the identifier through as received and never adds one.
