Cross-device targeting is an advanced digital advertising strategy that enables marketers to track and reach consumers across multiple digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, and smart TVs. This approach allows advertisers to create a unified and consistent user experience by connecting user interactions and behavior across different platforms and screens. By identifying and tracking unique users through sophisticated tracking technologies and algorithms, marketers can deliver personalized and contextually relevant advertising messages regardless of the device being used. 2, record 1, English, - cross%2Ddevice%20targeting

Pre-arrival targeting is a critical component of the [Canada Border Services Agency's] risk-management approach... Without pre-arrival targeting to identify high-risk goods and travellers, the movement of people and goods would be greatly delayed by more intensive scrutiny at primary inspection lines, and would incur an enormous cost to the Agency and its clients(e. g. importers, exporters, airlines). 1, record 4, English, - pre%2Darrival%20targeting
