     <head>
            <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=0"/>

How ADvantage displays HTML5 ads

The ADvantage WebSDK is using an sandbox Iframe system to display HTML 5 advertisements on your webpage. In this sandbox the creative developer is not able to access or interfere with your webpage, assuring high security and protection for your webpage.

License Key

Each website needs an own license key. The license key is bound to a specific (sub-)domain of the website.

For all license related topics contact our sales team.

License key and Ad positions settings

Each ad space has a license key and ad position settings Side ID and Position.

  • License key The license key is a unique key for each website (domain) it will be provided by our sales team.

  • SITE_ID The site id represents a category/structure on the ad server. This information will be forwarded to the ad server. On some ad servers this value has to be empty.

  • POSITION The position is linked to a specific ad position on the ad server and will be also forwarded.

Permissions

Since Version 2.5.0 you can set two permissions: allowReadCookies and allowWriteCookies.

allowReadCookies and allowWriteCookies allow the creative developer to read and write cookies from and into your website. Both permissions should be granted together. This feature can be used for re-targeting campaigns to identify users.

Security Notice

All cookies which the creative developer want to read or write will be prefixed with ADvantageSandboxCookie_. This means all your cookies are save, the creative developer will not be able to read or overwrite your cookies.

Select an ad format

An ad space is the area where the advertisement will run and show up. An advertisement could be fullscreen or just use a small portion of the screen and entice the user to interact (touch, wipe, click, ...) with the advertisement, which typically triggers an event such as opening up the app store or a landing page (in the browser).

In the following sections you will see some examples on how to implement ADvantage into your project.

Banners

Banner ads are rectangular ads that take a spot within an website's layout. They stay on screen while users are interacting with the website, and can refresh automatically after a certain period of time. If you're new to mobile advertising, they're a great place to start.

Interstitial

Interstitial

Interstitials are fullscreen ads that cover the whole screen of the browser window until closed by the user. They're best placed at startup, natural pauses in the flow of an website's execution, such as in between levels of a game or after completing a task.
