About ID5
ID5 provides a shared advertising identifier, built to give advertisers and publishers a consistent way to recognize a visitor as third-party cookies become less available.
Its script from id5-sync.com generates or retrieves an ID5 ID and makes it available to other ad-tech companies on the page, typically storing it in a cookie such as id5, so those companies can match the same visitor without each setting their own separate identifier.
Often loaded alongside

Understanding this page
- What the tracker categories mean
What "advertising," "analytics," "social," "consent" and the rest actually mean for a company or a cookie, and how CookieTosser decides which one applies.
- First-party vs third-party cookies (and why "first-party" still tracks you)
What the distinction actually means technically, why browsers only block one of the two, and how CNAME cloaking, server-side tagging and cookies like _ga let sites keep tracking under their own domain.
- How to block or limit trackers
Browser privacy settings, content blockers, Global Privacy Control and clearing cookies compared honestly — what each one actually stops, what it doesn't, and what it costs you in return.
