Overview
Collective Roll (operating as StackAdapt) is a performance and display advertising network for mid-market publishers. Scripts fire retargeting pixels on advertiser sites and serve native, display, and video ads across the publisher network.
What This Script Does
Collective Roll/StackAdapt scripts place retargeting pixels on advertiser websites to build audience segments of visitors for later ad targeting. On publisher sites, the scripts participate in real-time bidding auctions and render native, display, and video ad creatives. Cookies are set for user identification, frequency capping, and conversion attribution across the ad network.

How does ConsentStack handle Collective Roll?

On consent, scripts load normally. On denial, the tags remain suppressed, preventing retargeting data from being collected or shared with the ad network.
