This podcast may use tracking and attribution and dynamic content insertion
Stats: Statistics are produced by Simplecast, Podsights and Podtrac to help The Good Whale 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. Simplecast and Podtrac are IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Tracking and attribution: Podsights or its partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - it may spot a device that downloaded an episode of The Good Whale later visited the website of an advertiser; or it may track that a device that listened to The Good Whale also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.
Dynamic content insertion: Simplecast 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 Good Whale may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
The Good Whale 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.
