    An ad tracking company can determine your approximate location based on your IP address. They may also be able to identify your Internet Service Provider (ISP), device type, operating system, and browser information. Some companies might even use more advanced techniques like geolocation or machine learning algorithms to infer additional details about you, such as language preferences or demographic information. However, it’s important to note that not all tracking methods are accurate, and privacy concerns exist due to potential misuse of this data.
