Why would a company that shells out ~7 billion dollars need advertising cookies on its website?

I see Google Analytics, and https://assets.adobedtm.com/

From what I read* about adobedtm.com it's not necessarily advertising.

The answer probably lies with their analytics guy's last job and the toolset they used there.

Nvidia is in a pretty shitty situation at the moment. Stocks down almost 50% after the crypto-bubble popped (or deflated I guess is the better word).

That's a very short term perspective, considering they were $20 a share just a couple of years ago and are $150 a share now. Any shareholders other than people that bought in the last 18 months or so are going to be very happy with them.

NVDA is worth 10x what they were 5 years ago.

The usual: to increase their worth to Google Analytics and friends.
