    As far as I can tell, point by point;

    • sites give them access to data directly,

    • they purchase data from hardware manufacturers or the companies behind browsers or other apps that interact with the web,

    • they purchase information from those companies that track you with invasive cookies and

    • they look at available data, presumably like data dumps and publicly accessible metrics.

    It makes sense they don’t want to talk about it in too much detail, it’s all quite invasive.
