gbraid/wbraid query parameters #121

The amount of information about these parameters and how they work is extremely thin. There are mentions of these in some code examples and some online discussions (example), but a search for these doesn't reveal what they do.

Some of the discussion appears to imply that they are in response to Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) policies, which suggests that they cannot be used for individual targeting. However, those claims are very hard to verify.

In addition to being curious about the parameters, I'm curious as to what stance this service will take toward them.

Thanks for suggesting these, Martin. In general I'm interested in parameters that can be used for tracking or targeting individuals, and I haven't decided what to do about campaign IDs yet or other kinds of parameters. I will look into gbraid/wbraid.
