What Does Cross-Device Tracking Mean?

For example, if the third-party provider has created a separate feature for the laptop, desktop PC or smartphone or tablet you are using, these individual features can be assigned to each other as soon as you use a service of the third-party provider with your login data. In this way, the third-party provider can also target our advertising campaigns across different end devices.
