Note. This feature is available for display campaigns only.

  2. The targeting window will open. Allow cookies and click Preview. The cookie is stored in your browser. The lifetime of a cookie is 10 minutes.

  3. During this time, you can view your ad on any site where it might be displayed For example, on sites where the ad has already been served. You can find a list of these sites in the Report Wizard. If you can't find the ad, try refreshing your page several times or viewing it on another site.

    You can only view the ad in the browser where you saved the cookies. “Incognito” mode in Yandex Browser or similar modes in other browsers must be disabled.
