Do I understand you correctly:

You're building a uniquely identified profile (event-linkable), but the 
DAA definition is such that the profiling is not tracking?

And this because the UID sent by the user agent was replaced by an 
internal UID, thus the collection is not "linked to a _specific_ user, 
computer, or device. Because the new UID makes that the user is not 
"specific" anymore?

Would this change if we would say: 
Tracking is the collection and retention, or use of activity across non-
affiliated websites linked to a specific user, computer, device, or 
profile?
