What is Click Signing?
This anti-fraud feature, allows you to sign every click sent to AppsFlyer. Signing helps prevent ad networks unaware of sending fraudulent traffic to an advertiser.
A generated secret key within a certain time frame is assigned to a click and sent with the advertiser's tracking link. If the key is invalid/expired, AppsFlyer defines the click as fraudulent traffic. This can lead to traffic being blocked.
