THIRD-PARTY TAGS: SUPPORT & GUIDELINES

In-newsletter ad campaigns are “site-served” across SmartBrief’s network of 275+ email publications. Although third-party ad serving is not supported, click and impression tags (1x1s)  may be accepted.

Support and Guidelines:

SmartBrief may accept a click and 1×1 impression tracker for each individual ad creative. Only standard (HTML) image-based tracking tags may be used. Javascript is not supported in the email environment and can not be accepted.

Brand Safety, Fraud/IVT, Viewability Tracking:  

Tags intended to enable keyword blocking or to track fraud/IVT and/or viewability are typically reliant upon Javascript, which is not supported in the email environment. When available, SmartBrief may accept standard tracking tags, which generally enable monitoring only.
