FTrack ID from Flashtalking By Mediaocean

The FTrack Identity Framework (“FTrack”) User ID Module allows publishers to take advantage of Flashtalking’s FTrack ID during the bidding process.

Flashtalking’s cookieless tracking technology uses probabilistic device recognition to derive a privacy-friendly persistent ID for each device.
