Supporting security measures by identifying devices, detecting fraudulent activities, and ensuring secure transaction processing. This includes tracking user identifiers and IP addresses for risk assessment, verifying user integrity, and preventing unauthorized modifications to equipment fingerprints or transaction data.
Ensuring proper website performance and technical integrity by managing configurations such as image format support (e.g., WebP), application metrics, and service worker operations. This includes facilitating A/B testing for functionality improvements, logging for multi-service correlation, and error detection to maintain operational stability.
Managing user consent settings for compliance with privacy regulations, ensuring that essential cookie operations are transparently communicated and controlled. This includes tracking consent status and display frequency of cookie banners to align with legal requirements.
