Notes
- Hitting the domain directly produces a domain registrar’s holding page and doesn’t identify the tracker.
- URL found in the wild (http://a.volvelle.tech/sync?ssp=bidswitch&bidswitch_ssp_id=adform) forwards to different URLs – e.g., http://cm.adform.net/pixel?adform_pid=3&adform_pc=649c54c3-aac7-4b34-a7c2-522930d9fc9c&adform_v=1 and http://x.bidswitch.net/sync?dsp_id=190&expires=14&user_id=&ssp=adform
- Most likely belongs to Ve Interactive, which bought Optomaton, which has a platform called Volvelle.
