Collaborative filtering

As explained in First-Party Data Activation

A recommendation technique that infers a user's interests from patterns in the preferences or behavior of multiple users.

Collaborative filtering infers interests from patterns in multiple users’ preferences or behavior. Used as a privacy-enhancing technology, it can personalize content without storing large amounts of personal data, supporting engagement while reducing intrusive tracking. section 2.3.4
