Trackable Analytics Prefix FAQ

Q: What data does the Trackable prefix gather about listeners? 

A: Whenever a listener downloads an episode of your podcast, the prefix collects IP addresses, basic device information, and podcast player data. Chartable does not collect personal information about your podcast listeners (names, email addresses, etc).

Q: What hosting providers support Trackable?

A: The Trackable Prefix is only compatible with Megaphone RSS Feeds.

Q: What is the difference between the Trackable analytics prefix and a tracking pixel? 

A: Trackable is used for analytics on your Chartable dashboard, as well as baked-in SmartPromos. The prefix is added the show's RSS feed, and logs basic data when a listener downloads an episode. In contrast, a tracking pixel (otherwise known as a tag) is used for dynamically placed SmartPromos. In dynamically placed SmartPromos, a tracking pixel is a bit of code that is attached to the ad by the publishers's adops team in their DAI platform for podcast to podcast promotion attribution.
