Privacy-Aware Advertiser Integration - Generic

This article describes the steps you should take in order to integrate with a generic advertiser that is privacy aware.

Updated over a week ago

Apple's privacy changes in iOS 14.5 have determined many ad networks and MMPs to change the way they integrate with other ad networks.

This article will describe a simple way of integrating with a generic advertiser for which a more concrete integration is not defined.

Tracking links

Swaarm's preferred method of attribution in cases in which a click id cannot be provided is the PEA Chain method. This method requires that you forward a token in any click parameters that your advertiser supports. The token is automatically generated by the {pea.chain} macro.

In the following example, we will use the parameter called ad to put our token:

http://advertiser.tracking.link?campaign=AdvertierSpecialApp&ad={pea.chain}

Postback links

For Swaarm to correctly attribute the postback, the PEA Chain token needs to be returned in the postback. The token should be placed in the pea_chain postback parameter.
