ADINT, short for Advertising Intelligence, refers to the practice of gathering information about individuals or groups by analyzing data from online advertising technologies. This includes tracking cookies, analytics scripts, and ad networks that monitor user behavior across websites and apps. While originally designed for marketing and targeted advertising, these tools can be exploited for intelligence gathering, profiling, or surveillance. ADINT raises privacy concerns as it leverages the extensive reach of advertising infrastructure to collect detailed insights about users without their explicit consent.
