Can someone please explain a bit what is included as part of a "unique identifier".. does it mean the app sends Google what communities you're visiting or content you're consuming, so they can advertise to you personally?

I believe that every android phone has a unique advertising ID and the app match it in order to serve you ads based on you also Amazon Ads are here.

Starting with Android 12 (and maybe earlier, I think it may be a part of a Google Play update?), you can delete your advertising ID in settings - definitely worth doing!
