  • The list of domains is used to allow the on-page tag to distinguish between internal and external clicks. The relevant domain will be filled out automatically when you enter your advertiser’s website. If you want to enter more domains, make sure you separate them by a comma.

  • The advertiser ID is used to identify the advertiser in tracking applications and will be generated automatically when you create the advertiser. Please note it cannot be edited.

  • If you have created an individual tracking domain for your advertiser to ensure first-party tracking, select the tracking domain here. If not, use your generic tracking domain. Please select the tracking domain carefully. Furthermore, make sure you provide a prefix. You can choose the prefix freely, but please avoid terms related to tracking or marketing such as ‘tracking’, ‘ads’ or ‘advertising’ to avoid ad blocker issues. Recommendable are terms such as ‘publisher’, ‘channel’ or ‘partners’.
