I bet there's a really well understood data store that contains minimal data and meets various anonymity proofs.
And then a tag-manager implementation with MixPanel, Intercom, Amplitude, Heap, FullStory, and Segment, all receiving every interaction with a full JSON object describing the current state of the application and user.

The "custom" bit being us doing everything ourselves server-side and sending them a single opaque identifier for conversions.
