I'm no ads expert but my guess would be they run ads on TikTok and have the pixel on UberEats to figure out the conversion rate on those ads.

This is the answer. I am surprised it's not routed through another pixel manager though.

Yes this is a pixel to track audiences and retarget them when they are browsing tik tok, same goes for google, facebook and any other ads exchange.

Protip: if user privacy is a concern to you, then not supporting these companies (by handing them your data) is a good place to start.

Good luck with that. The list of companies to avoid is pretty long.

All you need to do is unplug your modem and you're good to go.
