This podcast may use tracking and attribution and dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Omny Studio, Chartable, Podsights and Podtrac to help The Tour Life to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Omny Studio and Podtrac are IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Tracking and attribution: Omny Studio, Chartable and Podsights or their partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - they may spot a device that downloaded an episode of The Tour Life later visited the website of an advertiser; or they may track that a device that listened to The Tour Life also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.

Dynamic content insertion: Omny Studio may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. The Tour Life may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

The Tour Life is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
