ፖሊሲ ብሕትውና

behaviour

Pages viewed, items added to a basket, orders placed and the like, used to understand how the shop is used and which sources bring customers.

device_identifier

Email address and telephone number reduced to an irreversible hash, so an advertising platform can recognise its own customer without either party learning anything new.
