SSL Compliance

SSL-compliant ad units are accepted on the Google Display Network according to the following policies. We require that all ads and tracking pixels targeting SSL inventory (including YouTube) are SSL-compliant.

SSL-compliant ads guidelines

  • All A24 ad responses must be SSL-compliant (“HTTPS”). All servers involved require full SSL certification.
  • It is preferred that your ad tag can auto-detect that it is being requested from the HTTP/HTTPS protocol and will auto-adjust any responses to be SSL-compliant if necessary. Otherwise, Google has a protocol macro that we can insert in any URIs or ad tags to auto-update “http” to “https” if necessary.
  • Please notify your Google account representative that you are submitting an SSL-compliant ad. Note that if an ad is declared as SSL- compliant but makes any non-SSL-compliant responses, the ad will be disapproved.
  • A vendor must receive specific certification to serve ads on SSL-compliant publisher inventory. Approved SSL-compliant ad vendors are listed in the vendors lists.

SSL Compliance

You must comply with these policies if you use third-party tracking, including pixels (beacons) on the Google Display Network

Format

  • Only 1×1 pixels are supported for third-party tracking site-served ad units. Javascript is not allowed.
  • Click trackers are supported for third-party tracking clicks on select site-served ad units. See the Ad formats section for a full list.

Certified Vendors

  • AdWords supports third-party tracking on the Google Display Network from certified vendors. Please consult the list of certified vendors for your region in the vendor list section.
  • Certified Vendors
  • Click tracking vendors are not required to be certified.

Fourth-party calls and multiple vendor tracking
Multiple impression pixels per event are not supported for our site-served and/or video ad units through AdWords. However, clients may daisy-chain multiple vendor tracking and/or fourth-party calls into a single asset. This must be a standard format 1×1 pixel that fires simultaneous calls to each vendor upon serving the impression. The client or agency is responsible for piggybacking or daisy-chaining the pixels.

Ad Formats
Third-party pixels are supported on the below ad formats. Some ad formats allow for multiple events to be tracked. However, only one pixel can be appended per event
