About X (Twitter)

X, formerly known as Twitter, is the social platform whose domains cover both embedded tweets and its own ad-conversion tracking.

Embedding a tweet or timeline pulls in platform.twitter.com and pbs.twimg.com, while the separate analytics.twitter.com and ads-twitter.com pixel reports conversions back to advertisers, setting identifiers like personalization_id and guest_id.

Users with an X account can adjust ad personalization in the platform's own privacy settings.
