Overview
Adloox is an ad verification and measurement platform deployed by publishers and advertisers to verify ad viewability, detect invalid traffic (IVT), and enforce brand safety standards. Its scripts run alongside ad rendering pipelines to measure whether ads are actually viewed by real humans in brand-safe environments, providing independent verification data for the advertising supply chain.
What This Script Does
Adloox's scripts operate within the ad measurement workflow:
- Viewability measurement: Monitors whether ad creatives are rendered within the visible viewport and measures the duration of on-screen exposure. Reports viewability metrics against MRC (Media Rating Council) standards.
- Invalid traffic detection: Analyzes behavioral signals, device characteristics, and interaction patterns to identify bot traffic, click fraud, and non-human impressions within the ad supply chain.
- Brand safety verification: Evaluates the content surrounding ad placements to assess brand safety risks, classifying page content against advertiser-defined safety criteria.
- Impression tracking: Fires measurement pixels on ad impressions, recording delivery, viewability, and verification data for campaign reporting.
- Cookies: May set operational cookies for measurement session management and IVT detection patterns.

Under CCPA/CPRA, ad measurement data processed within the advertising ecosystem constitutes personal information related to advertising.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
Yes. Adloox operates within the advertising supply chain and its measurement scripts should be blocked alongside the advertising stack until marketing consent is granted. Without ad consent, there are no ads to verify.

Under GDPR and ePrivacy, these scripts should be gated with the advertising stack. Without marketing consent, there are no ads to verify.
What does the Adloox verification script measure?
Adloox scripts monitor ad viewability against MRC standards, measuring on-screen exposure time and whether creatives render in the visible viewport. They analyze behavioral signals and device characteristics to detect bot traffic and click fraud, evaluate brand safety of surrounding content, and fire measurement pixels on ad impressions.
How does ConsentStack manage Adloox ad verification?
ConsentStack detects Adloox measurement scripts and assigns them to the marketing consent category. Since ad verification only serves a purpose when ads are running, ConsentStack blocks Adloox alongside the advertising stack until marketing consent is granted. Once consent is given, both ads and Adloox verification load together.
