The tracking domain is the domain via which ad impressions, clicks, and conversions related to your advertiser are being tracked. You will need to register a tracking domain when you want to offer an advertiser first-party tracking. First-party tracking enables you to track your advertiser’s conversions and other conversions via the advertiser’s own domain. To find out why this is highly beneficial for both your advertiser and the partners on your platform, please read First-party Tracking Setup article.

Editing a registered tracking domain is not possible, because it would hamper the tracking of your advertiser’s conversions. In case an advertiser changes the domain via which he does business, just make sure a new tracking domain is registered, corresponding with the new domain.
