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.

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.
