Hi we were asked to provide some background of what Limit Ad Tracking means; we tried to find this on the call but ran out of time. I hope this helps. Here is what our legal document says: “Limited Advertising Purposes” means frequency capping, attribution, conversion events, estimating the number of unique users, advertising fraud detection, debugging for advertising purposes only, and other uses for advertising that may be permitted by Apple in Documentation for the Ad Support APIs. Other possibly relevant bits: “Advertising Identifier” means a unique, non-personal, non-permanent identifier provided by iOS through the Ad Support APIs that is associated with a particular iOS device and is to be used solely for advertising purposes, unless otherwise expressly approved by Apple in writing. You and Your Internal Use Applications (and any third party with whom you have contracted to serve advertising) may use the Advertising Identifier, and any information obtained through the use of the Advertising Identifier, only for the purpose of serving advertising. If a user resets the Advertising Identifier, then You agree not to combine, correlate, link or otherwise associate, either directly or indirectly, the prior Advertising Identifier and any derived information with the reset Advertising Identifier.
