Overview

Kargo is a mobile-first advertising platform specializing in high-impact ad formats for premium publishers. Its scripts serve rich media ad units designed for mobile viewability and measure engagement metrics beyond standard click-through rates.

What This Script Does

Kargo scripts load ad creatives into designated placements on publisher pages. They track viewability, scroll depth, interaction events (swipes, taps), and time-in-view. The scripts make requests to Kargo's ad servers and may sync with third-party demand-side platforms. Cookies and local storage may be used for frequency capping and user identification for ad targeting.
