How does Snap Store detect "Territories"?

The conversation first started on this forum https://community.e.foundation/t/e-os-easy-installer-how-to-help-it-support-multiple-devices/15288/8

The Snap Store has a way to keep a count of how many times a snap is installed based on the territory. While that information can be helpful, it also raises a bit of concern, especially about the way that “tracking” is done. Some information from the people working on the Store would be really helpful.

I found that page https://snapcraft.io/docs/snap-store-metrics however it does not contain the information I am looking for.
