Overview
ADFACT is a digital advertising tracking and measurement company. Advertisers use ADFACT to verify that their display ad campaigns are delivering impressions and clicks as reported, and to measure campaign performance.
What This Script Does
The ADFACT script fires impression and click tracking pixels within display ad units. Each pixel request records that an ad was viewed or clicked, along with metadata such as the page URL, timestamp, and ad placement. This data is aggregated for campaign performance reporting. The script may set cookies for frequency capping (limiting how many times a user sees the same ad) and deduplicating conversion events.
Consent & Compliance
Consent category: Marketing
ADFACT's tracking pixels serve advertising measurement purposes. Under GDPR, ad impression and click tracking that involves cookies or unique identifiers requires opt-in consent. Under ePrivacy, the cookies used for frequency capping and tracking require consent. Under CCPA, the data collection for advertising measurement may constitute sharing personal information.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
Yes. ADFACT is an advertising measurement tool. It should not fire tracking pixels until the user has consented to marketing cookies.
Is ADFACT GDPR compliant?
ADFACT typically loads analytics and marketing trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So ADFACT can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads ADFACT, not on ADFACT itself.
