Ads exposure tracking
You can track the exposition of users to the different kind of Ads format that exist today:
- Display Ads: All Ads that are either static image/animations or HTML5 animated Ads
- Video Ads: All Video Ads that the User can see through a marketing campaign
All Ads tracking is done using Pixels and Click Tracking URLs.
You should consider using this feature to get ad view and ad click directly within your datamart when using DSPs .
Activities tracked through this method will be of
DISPLAY_AD $type and NO_SESSION $session_status. See User activity object for more information.Associated user events

Video Ad Tracking
Basic video ad tracking can be achieved by integrating the display ad pixel (with
$ad_view events) and the click-tracking URL (with $ad_click events) into your video ad format.For more advanced capabilities, a specific integration can be setup based on the visit pixel (with custom completion events) and an Activity Analyzer. Please advise with your Account Representatives during the design phase.
