Removing duplicate conversion records, such as the same purchase sent by both a browser pixel and a server-side API, so it is counted once.

Short answer
Deduplication, or event deduplication, is the removal of duplicate conversion records so each action is counted once. It is commonly needed when the same purchase is sent by both a browser pixel and a server-side API. Platforms match events using shared identifiers, such as an event ID, to prevent inflated conversion counts.
