Term explanation
Click look-back window: A look-back window is the period of time after an ad is clicked or viewed within which an install can be attributed, or matched, to the ad. Advertisers and attribution providers use lookback windows to determine if a specific click or view led to a user’s decision to download an app.
Re-engagement window: The Re-engagement window is a time period, which starts with a user's re-engagement. During this window: The retargeting network is considered the primary attribution of in-app events performed by the user. The original ad network is considered secondary.
