Third-Party Tracking
Also known as: 3rd-Party Tracking
Tracking performed by a domain different from the one a user is visiting, typically via embedded scripts, ad networks, analytics tags, or browser extensions that phone home to external services. Third-party trackers aggregate browsing behaviour across many sites and can be loaded indirectly through otherwise benign tools such as accessibility or shopping extensions. Disabled users are disproportionately affected because they tend to install more extensions to make the web usable.
