I thought first-party tracking was about tracking users across different domains, but that doesn't sound right now that I think about it.

I feel like first-party tracking is more reliable since it's directly associated with the website, but I might be mixing it up with something else.

Got it, this is about understanding the distinction between first-party and third-party data collection. I'll highlight how first-party tracking is more transparent and builds trust with customers, while third-party can raise privacy concerns.

I've worked with Marketing Cloud before, and I know first-party tracking is the preferred method for most companies. It allows them to own the data and have more control over the customer experience. I'll focus on explaining those advantages in my answer.

Okay, let me think this through. First-party tracking is when the data is collected directly by the website owner, while third-party tracking involves a separate entity collecting the data. I think the key is understanding the privacy and data ownership implications of each approach.

I've got this! The supplier SME is responsible for ensuring compliance with project standards, so I'm pretty sure 4 is correct. And they should be focused on the customer, so 3 is also right. Going with C.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know DNS has something to do with resolving host names, but I can't remember the details. I'll have to think it through carefully.
