You think?

Looking at my dashboard now I can see data on language, browser, mobile model, referral, etc. I think some are just not present in the mobile version of analytics, but I can't see what data this would not be collecting.

This also reminds me that this simple technique can bypass 3rd party cookies rules.

You clearly misunderstood my goal.

It doesn’t bypass 3rd party cookie rules.

You proxy cookie for party3.com

I proxy cookie for party3.com

But there isn’t a good way for me, you or party3.com to correlate these cookies unless we have some agreed out-of-cookie-band way to do so.

I’m sure those will come up, but they will be well known and likely easy to block once they are.
