AD¶

The inspected AD version connects reading and playback activity to publisher, audience and customer-context systems. A second concern is mixed services: privacy and login components have measurement paths, while their essential account operations still need to work.
What activity is recorded in the inspected paths?¶
| Activity / service | What our evidence shows | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Snowplow, Comscore and Firebase | Publisher events, audience measurement and app analytics with identifier linkage are traced. | Inventoried configuration, dispatch, queued sends and re-enablement stop. |
| Piano/Cxense and Usabilla | Pageviews, pending customer/audience events and automatic feedback events/custom variables. | Identified senders/schedulers stop; genuine login and manual feedback remain. |
| Independent audio and video telemetry | The video route includes /api/v1/events/video.analytics.v1; the independent audio /track sender is a separate path. |
Video telemetry stops. The independent audio sender is not covered and remains a privacy follow-up. |
| PrivacyGate and login diagnostics | Metrics share service families with consent and real authentication. | Measurement methods stop; consent/login/token refresh remain. |
What remains and what is still unknown¶
Catsure still coordinates audio using device/player/queue state. Server-side functional effects remain unclassified. Editorial valley.* embeds remain; their name alone is not a tracking classification. Article/account/notification services still exchange data. Article controls preserve supplied content rather than creating entitlement. Use the original Android 12L+ Play split set.
