DNI reads UTM parameters, referring URLs, and session cookies to identify the traffic source and display the appropriate tracking number.

DNI allows marketers to assign unique numbers at the keyword level, enabling precise attribution of calls to individual paid search terms.

Correct answer: A set of tracking numbers reserved for concurrent website visitors
A number pool is a collection of tracking numbers that are dynamically assigned to simultaneous website visitors to ensure unique attribution per session.
