← CitedBy: the full cardAll Data tools →
How this list is made: the words CitedBy is described with (what it does, for whom, what it is used for) are matched against every tool in the Atlas. A tool on the same shelf, or doing the same kind of work, counts for a little more. Nothing here is paid for.

Analytics and ad measurement tell us which pages and which of our ads do their job: Google Analytics and Google Ads, the Meta pixel, Yandex Metrica, and one first-party id of our own. Nothing is stored until you answer, and declining changes nothing about the site.
