[GA4] Device ID

A browser-based or mobile-app-based identifier for a unique, pseudonymous website or mobile app user.

On a website, device ID gets its value from the client ID property of the _ga cookie. In an iOS or Firebase app, device ID gets its value from the app-instance ID, which identifies a unique installation of the app.

Device ID is one of the available reporting identity spaces.
