Updated filter for RTB breakout
On August 3, the RTB Breakout "Publisher" filter will accept publisher ID as an input. Publisher ID is the same value you can find in ads.txt or app-ads.txt for publisher inventory. Previously, the "Publisher" filter accepted seller network ID, a different value which is to be removed. Use of publisher ID in RTB Breakout brings more consistency to Authorized Buyers and makes it easier for you to find publishers. Learn more

In Q3 2020, child-level pretargeting will be retired in favor of bidder-level pretargeting. The transition to bidder-level pretargeting simplifies pretargeting management. Ensure your bidders are ready for this transition. Learn more

Session ID support for frequency capping in CTV platforms
Per the IAB’s Guidelines for Identifier for Advertising (IFA) on OTT platforms, a session ID is a type of privacy-safe advertising identifier that can be used for frequency capping purposes only. Unlike other IFA types that persist across multiple sessions, the session ID can be used to frequency cap a campaign within a user session on devices and environments that may not support valid or privacy safe IFA value. This functionality is currently only supported on CTV environments and is in beta stage.
