Terminology

Just to be sure we are all talking about the same thing for at least the durations of this wiki page. The designation for first party (1P) is very web centric, but seems common, so let's stick with it.

1. First Party (1P) - the web site the user navigated to.
2. Second Party (2P) - actions by a native app on the user's device.
3. Third Party (3P) - some other web site brought onto the UX by the 1P.
