from the following classes….

16. This script moves page content after the script in <noscript>
tag so content is not displayed.
The response header is “Content-Type text/html” so script
does not run in IE browser - this needs to be set to ”Content-
Type application/x-javascript” to fix IE issue.

We did a poll of our agency contacts, asking them if they knew what the icon was (from a list of EU ePrivacy Certificate, IASH Accreditation symbol, DAA AdChoices icon, IAB GPP Watermark and EASA BPR Logo). Respondents were asked their role, and 90% of them were Ams, Media Planners or Associate Directors.
Huge adoption (or planned adoption) of the icon. Some plans for cookie audits and advising user consent mechanisms, although few planned to use one on their site (to their knowledge).
Interesting split between those who expect to do it themselves and those who expect the ad networks to do it. Also significant minority thinking the Creative should do the job.
Our implementation is pretty much as per the IAB’s technical specification. The default is the top right, but this can be altered. We haven’t yet been requested to alter the location or colour of the icon, nor even to suppress it. The icon appears by default on all display ads we show in US and Europe, including the Firefly in-banner video. While currently the marker text is always “AdChoices”, the link does switch to the different country landing pages based on IP address. We are planning to switch the marker text as well.
This is the landing page currently. We do not have a preferences manager, so there is no interstitial. I think this page could be a little more helpful for a consumer.
Since implementation of the icon across Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, UK and US in February, very few issues have appeared. I’m happy to share the couple of cases of detailed technical snags for those of you who relish such things.
Depending on how the publisher has built their page, there may be a conflict.
Browsers often do things differently, so need to be fully tested out.
In this chart, these are volumes relative to the earliest month of data, i.e. How have clicks changed compared to February, and how have opt-outs changed compared to January. The two are not connected, i.e. Users can opt out by visiting youronlinechoices, NAI or our own privacy policy; they don’t have to have clicked on the icon. Equally users can click the icon, and not ultimately opt out. The numbers show that usage of the icon is ramping up while opt-outs are essentially flat, pointing to, it appears, users being satisfied that they have the information and control they desire, and not feeling the necessity to exercise it.
Companies could be grouped like privacychoice have suggested, i.e. Retargeter, data trader, media buyer, network, ad delivery.
That’s not a good sentence. And it’s stuck down at the bottom of the page.
Will Do Not Track present a viable browser-based solution? Will the new Data Protection Regulation & Directive tidy things up? Or make things worse? Will AdChoices support the metadata approach?
