DoubleClick, Floodlight id, ide, gad, gads 3rd party Expires in 730 days | Google uses cookies, like the PREF cookie, to help personalize ads on Google properties, like Google Search, particularly when you aren’t signed in to a Google account. It does this by setting a unique user ID. We also use one or more cookies for advertising we serve across the web. One of the main advertising cookies on non-Google sites is named ‘IDE‘ and is stored in browsers under the domain doubleclick.net. Another is stored in google.com and is called ANID. We use other cookies with names such as DSID, FLC, AID, TAID, and exchange_uid. Other Google properties, like YouTube, may also use these cookies to show you more relevant ads. We also use cookies for advertising we serve outside of Google. The main advertising cookie is called ‘id’ and it is stored in browsers under the domain doubleclick.net. Google uses others with names such as _drt_, FLC, NID and exchange_uid. DoubleClick uses cookies to improve advertising. Some common uses are to target advertising based on what’s relevant to a user, to improve reporting on campaign performance, and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen.

In general, the cookie in the relevant domain and IP address are always passed with every http request and not just via UET.

DoubleClick, Floodlight ga 1st party 63072000 (two years, in seconds) | Google uses cookies, like the PREF cookie, to help personalize ads on Google properties, like Google Search, particularly when you aren’t signed in to a Google account. It does this by setting a unique user ID. We also use one or more cookies for advertising we serve across the web. One of the main advertising cookies on non-Google sites is named 'IDE' and is stored in browsers under the domain doubleclick.net. Another is stored in google.com and is called ANID. We use other cookies with names such as DSID, FLC, AID, TAID, and exhange_uid. Other Google properties, like YouTube, may also use these cookies to show you more relevant ads. By default, gtag.js has automatic cookie domain configuration enabled. When enabled, automatic cookie domain configuration sets the _ga cookie to the highest level domain it can. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/cookies-user-id DoubleClick uses cookies to improve advertising. Some common applications are to target advertising based on what's relevant to a user, to improve reporting on campaign performance, and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen.
