At disAbility Equip Online we utilize Google Enhanced Conversions. Please see below for a definition on Enhanced Conversions.
Enhanced conversions is a feature that can improve the accuracy of our conversion measurement. It supplements our existing conversion tags by sending hashed first party conversion data from our website in a privacy safe way. The feature uses a secure one-way hashing algorithm called SHA256 on any of our first party customer data, such as email addresses, before sending to Google. The hashed data is then matched with signed-in Google accounts in order to attribute your campaign conversions to ad events, such as clicks or views. You can learn more about how enhanced conversions work.
