I know the gateway is the origin server. 

My point is that this text says the gateway is a service provider for the bidders, but it is collecting the data (the users web history) and perhaps broadcasting it to the bidders. It is irrelevant to the user that it does not use the data in its own right, though it may be important for the bidders. This use of service provider differs from our definition because we originally meant it for third-parties that are contracted with the first-party i.e. the first-party can communicate tracking data because the service providers  are contracted not to use the data for their own purposes. In this case a "visible" third-party (who may or may not be a service provider for the first-party) is communicating data to "invisible" other third-parties who are bidders.

By "invisible" I mean that real-estate (elements) do not exist so TSRs etc. are inaccessible.

My other point about the impossibility of forwarding the tracking preference is simply that the gateway can only "see" its own tracking preference, it cannot determine the tracking preference for downstream bidders, so cannot communicate it to them.
