ezoic.netMarketingFrequently Asked Questions
Does Ezoic require visitor consent before running ad auctions on my site?
Yes. Ezoic operates a header bidding wrapper that solicits bids from multiple ad exchanges simultaneously, sets tracking cookies, and profiles visitors for revenue optimization. This requires explicit opt-in consent under GDPR and ePrivacy before the script loads and auctions begin.
What happens when Ezoic loads on a publisher page?
Ezoic's header bidding wrapper contacts multiple ad demand partners in parallel, dynamically tests ad placement positions and sizes using machine learning, collects page performance metrics and viewability data, and may modify page layout to reposition ad units. Each connected exchange sets its own cookies.
How does ConsentStack handle Ezoic on a publisher site?
ConsentStack classifies Ezoic as a marketing vendor and blocks the header bidding wrapper until the visitor grants advertising consent. This prevents ad exchanges from setting cookies or receiving bid requests before consent. Once opt-in is recorded, ConsentStack loads Ezoic dynamically to enable monetization.
