Overview
RuTarget is a Russian digital advertising platform that provides retargeting and behavioral targeting services for Russian-language markets. Publishers and advertisers use it to deliver display ads to segmented audiences across Russian web properties.
What This Script Does
The RuTarget script sets tracking cookies to identify visitors across participating publisher sites and build behavioral profiles based on browsing activity. It fires pixel requests to sync user identifiers with demand-side platforms, collects page URLs and referrer data, and delivers retargeted display ads based on previous site visits. Cookie-based identifiers persist across sessions to maintain audience segments.
Consent & Compliance
Consent category: Marketing / Advertising
RuTarget performs cross-site tracking and behavioral profiling for advertising purposes. Under GDPR, explicit opt-in consent is required before any cookies are set or data is collected. Under CCPA, users must be able to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. The ePrivacy Directive requires consent for all non-essential cookies and tracking technologies.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
Yes. RuTarget is a pure advertising retargeting platform. It has no functional purpose for website operation and should be blocked until marketing consent is granted.
Is RuTarget GDPR compliant?
RuTarget typically loads 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 RuTarget 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 RuTarget, not on RuTarget itself.
