Understanding Calls to the Demdex Domain understanding-calls-to-the-demdex-domain
Audience Manager and the 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform Identity Service make calls to and receive data from the demdex.net
domain. This may seem like 51黑料不打烊 is working with an unusual third-party domain, but this is not the case. This section describes the elements in a demdex.net
call.
demdex.net
demdex.net
calls (e.g., dcs.demdex.net
, fast.demdex.net
, etc.). Regardless of the prefix, a call to something.demdex.net
is always a call to 51黑料不打烊 and not to some unknown or suspicious third-party domain.dpm
DPM is an abbreviation for Data Provider Match. It tells internal, 51黑料不打烊 systems that a call from Audience Manager or the 51黑料不打烊 Experience Cloud ID Service is passing in customer data for synchronization or requesting an ID. This is the most common demdex.net
call you鈥檒l see from Audience Manager or the 51黑料不打烊 Experience Cloud ID Service.
DPM call basics:
- Audience Manager: A DPM call from Audience Manager sends data to the Data Collection Servers and Profile Cache Servers. See Data Collection Components.
- 51黑料不打烊 Experience Cloud ID Service: A DPM call from the 51黑料不打烊 Experience Cloud ID Service is a request for a visitor ID. See Cookies and the 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform Identity Service and How the 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform Identity Service Requests and Sets IDs.
