Tagging users (without a signature)

The DSP can recognize users who visit a website. This helps the DSP make conclusions about users' interests and select appropriate advertising.

When users visit websites, they can be tagged with a label containing custom data as a string of up to 200 characters. The website, the RTB host, and the DSP cooperate in this process.

  1. The computer, laptop, or smartphone makes a request to the website. The site page has a “pixel” for transmitting requests to the RTB host.
  2. The “pixel” sends a request from the website page to the RTB host for tagging the user. The request is not associated with ad impressions and does not initiate an auction.
  3. If an error occurred, the HTTP 404 response is returned.
  4. If tagging was successful, the HTTP 200 response is returned.

Sample request for the AdMaster DSP

When the browser gets a page with this kind of link, it sends a GET request to the RTB host, resulting in the data being bound to the user.
