User ID Module

Overview

The User ID module supports multiple ways of establishing pseudonymous IDs for users, which is an important way of increasing the value of header bidding. Instead of having several exchanges sync IDs with dozens of demand sources, a publisher can choose to integrate with any of a number of ID schemes.

How It Works

  1. The publisher determines which user ID modules to add to their Prebid.js package and consults with their legal counsel to determine the appropriate user disclosures.
  2. The publisher builds Prebid.js by specifying one or more ID sub-modules they would like to include. e.g. “gulp build –modules=____IdSystem”. You also need to add the userId module to your Prebid.js distribution.
  3. The page defines User ID configuration in pbjs.setConfig()
  4. When setConfig() is called, and if the user has consented to storing IDs locally, the module is invoked to call the URL if needed
    1. If the relevant local storage is present, the module doesn’t call the URL and instead parses the scheme-dependent format, injecting the resulting ID into bidRequest.userId.
    2. If GDPR applies, the consent signal from the CMP is hashed and stored in a cookie called _pbjs_userid_consent_data. This is required so that ID sub-modules may be called to refresh their ID if the user’s consent preferences have changed from the previous page, and ensures cached IDs are no longer used if consent is withdrawn.
  5. An object containing one or more IDs (bidRequest.userId) is made available to Prebid.js adapters and Prebid Server S2S adapters.
  6. In addition to bidRequest.userId, bidRequest.userIdAsEids is made available to Prebid.js adapters and Prebid Server S2S adapters. bidRequest.userIdAsEids has userIds in ORTB EIDS format.
  7. The page can call pbjs.getUserIds(), pbjs.getUserIdsAsEids(), or pbjs.getUserIdsAsync().

Note: If your ID structure is complicated, it is helpful to add tests for pbjs.getUserIds(), pbjs.getUserIdsAsEids() and pbjs.getUserIdsAsync().

Note: To add a custom data type for the response of pbjs.getUserIdsAsEids(), see other examples within the createEidsArray method in /modules/userId/eid.js

Note that User IDs aren’t needed in the mobile app world because device ID is available in those ad serving scenarios.

Note that not all bidder adapters support all forms of user ID. See the tables below for a list of which bidders support which ID schemes.

As of Prebid 4.0, this module will attempt storage in the main domain of the publisher’s website instead of a subdomain, unless this behavior is overriden by a submodule.

User ID, GDPR, Permissions, and Opt-Out

When paired with the Consent Management module, privacy rules are enforced:

  • The module checks the GDPR consent string
  • If no consent string is available OR if the user has not consented to Purpose 1 (local storage):
    • Calls to an external user ID vendor are not made.
    • Nothing is stored to cookies or HTML5 local storage.

In addition, individual users may opt-out of receiving cookies and HTML5 local storage by setting these values:

  • _pbjs_id_optout cookie or HTML5 local storage. The value can be anything – if it exists, the user is considered opted out and no userId modules will fire.
  • _pubcid_optout cookie or HTML5 local storage. This is for backwards compatibility with the original PubCommonID module, as of 5.0 known as the SharedId module. Likewise, the value can be anything.

Publisher First Party Opt-Out

Without third-party cookies, mechanisms like the NAI don’t work, so some publishers may want to implement a first party opt-out so their users aren’t tagged with first party cookies containing IDs.

Publishers that want to do this should design their workflow and then set _pbjs_id_optout cookie or HTML5 local storage. For instance:

  • read from an in-page javascript variable and set _pbjs_id_optout to any value.
  • call an in-page function and use the results to create a _pbjs_id_optout cookie with any value.

Basic Configuration

By including this module and one or more of the sub-modules, a number of new options become available in setConfig(), under the userSync object as attributes of the userIds array of sub-objects.

Publishers using Google AdManager may want to sync one of the identifiers as their Google PPID for frequency capping or reporting. The PPID in GAM (which is unrelated to the PPID UserId Submodule) has strict rules; refer to Google AdManager documentation for them. Please note, Prebid uses a GPT command to sync identifiers for publisher convenience. It doesn’t currently work for instream video requests, as Prebid typically interacts with the player, which in turn may interact with IMA. IMA does has a similar method as GPT, but IMA does not gather this ID from GPT.

Param under userSync Scope Type Description Example
ppid Optional String Must be a source from the pbjs.getUserIdsAsEids() array "pubcid.org"

The table below has the options that are common across ID systems. See the sections below for specific configuration needed by each system and examples.

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String May be: "33acrossId", "admixerId", "qid", "adtelligentId", "amxId", "britepoolId", "criteo", "fabrickId", "flocId", "hadronId", "id5id", identityLink, "idx", "intentIqId", "justId", "liveIntentId", "lotamePanoramaId", "merkleId", "naveggId", "mwOpenLinkId", "netId", "novatiqId", "parrableId", "quantcastId", "pubProvidedId", "sharedId", "tapadId", "unifiedId","uid2", "verizonMediaId", "zeotapIdPlus" "unifiedId"
params Based on User ID sub-module Object    
bidders Optional Array of Strings An array of bidder codes to which this user ID may be sent. ['bidderA', 'bidderB']
storage Optional Object The publisher can specify some kind of local storage in which to store the results of the call to get the user ID. This can be either cookie or HTML5 storage. This is not needed when value is specified or the ID system is managing its own storage  
storage.type Required String Must be either "cookie" or "html5". This is where the results of the user ID will be stored. "cookie"
storage.name Required String The name of the cookie or html5 local storage where the user ID will be stored. "_unifiedId"
storage.expires Strongly Recommended Integer How long (in days) the user ID information will be stored. If this parameter isn’t specified, session cookies are used in cookie-mode, and local storage mode will create new IDs on every page. 365
storage.refreshInSeconds Optional Integer The amount of time (in seconds) the user ID should be cached in storage before calling the provider again to retrieve a potentially updated value for their user ID. If set, this value should equate to a time period less than the number of days defined in storage.expires. By default the ID will not be refreshed until it expires.  
value Optional Object Used only if the page has a separate mechanism for storing a User ID. The value is an object containing the values to be sent to the adapters. {"tdid": "1111", "IDP": "IDP-2233", "id5id": {"uid": "ID5-12345"}}

Permissions

Publishers can control which user ids are shared with the bid adapters they choose to work with by using the bidders array. The bidders array is part of the User id module config, publisher may choose to send an id to some bidders but not all, the default behavior is that each user id go to all bid adapters the publisher is working with.

Use the optional bidders parameter to define an array of bidder codes to which this user ID may be sent.

In this example the SharedID sub adapter is only allowed to be sent to the Rubicon adapter.

userIds: [
  {
    name: "sharedId",
    bidders: [
      'rubicon'
    ],
    params: {
      syncTime: 60,      // in seconds
      defaultis24hours
    },
    storage: {
      type: "cookie",
      name: "sharedid",
      expires: 28        // in days
    }
  }
]

The Rubicon bid adapter would then receive

{
  "bidder": "rubicon",
  ...
  "userId": {
    "sharedid": {
      "id": "01*******",
      "third": "01E*******"
    }
  },
  "userIdAsEids": [
    {
      "source": "sharedid.org",
      "uids": [
        {
          "id": "01**********",
          "atype": 1,
          "ext": {
            "third": "01***********"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  ...
}

User ID Sub-Modules

33Across ID

The 33Across User ID sub-module is a way for publishers to monetize their cookieless inventory across multiple supply-side platforms via Prebid.JS. The sub-module provides publishers with addressability for their open marketplace cookieless inventory and access to cookieless demand. The 33Across User ID sub-module utilizes Lexicon technology to connect Publishers to Demand partners via proprietary technologies in a probabilistic and privacy-safe manner. Please contact PrebidUIM@33across.com to get your authorization process started.

        expires: 90,
        refreshInSeconds: 8 * 3600
      }
    }]
  }
});

AdmixerID

Admixer ID, provided by Admixer, is a universal ID solution that doesn’t rely on 3rd party cookies and helps publishers and advertisers to recognize users across various browsers and environments. Our sub adapter takes deterministic signals like email and phone as input and returns an anonymous id that unlocks access to a wide range of Admixer’s demand sources, amplifying audience segmentation, targeting and measurement.

The Admixer privacy policy is at https://admixer.com/privacy/

Add Admixer ID module to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=admixerIdSystem

AdmixerID Examples

1) Individual params may be set for the Admixer ID Submodule.

   pbjs.setConfig({
       userSync: {
           userIds: [{
               name: "admixerId",
               storage: {
                   name: "admixerId",
                   type: "cookie",
                   expires: 30
               },

               }
           }],
           auctionDelay: 50             // 50ms maximum auction delay, applies to all userId modules
       }
   });

adQuery QiD

The adQuery QiD is a first-party identifier designed for publishers using the Adquery adapter. For more information please contact prebid@adquery.io

adQuery QiD Configuration

First, add the adQuery QiD module to your Prebid.js build:

gulp build --modules=userId,adqueryIdSystem

Then configure the qui in your userSync configuration:

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: 'qid',
            storage: {
                name: 'qid',
                type: 'html5',
                expires: 365,
            }
        }]
    }
});

This will add a userId.qid property to all bidRequests. This will be read by the Adquery bid adapter, and any other adapters that support EIDs:

{
  qid: 'p9v2dpnuckkzhuc92i'
}

Adtelligent

The Adtelligent ID system is a unique per-session user identifier for providing high quality DMP data for advertisers

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=userId,adtelligentIdSystem

Adtelligent Configuration

adtelligentIdSystem adapter doesn’t require any configuration or storage params. The adapter performs asynchronously and to achieve better performance it is recommended to set the storage object refreshInSeconds to a short period, such as ten minutes. At the end of the set storage refresh the adapter will refresh its configuration.

Adtelligent Example

 pbjs.setConfig({
     userSync: {
         userIds: [{
             name: 'adtelligent'
         }]
     }
 });

Example with a short storage for ~10 minutes and refresh in 5 minutes:

    pbjs.setConfig({
        userSync: {
            userIds: [{
                name: 'adtelligent',
                storage: {
                    type: "html5",
                    name: "adt_id",
                    expires:0.003,
                    refreshInSeconds: 60 * 5
                }
            }]
        }
    });

AMX RTB ID

The AMX RTB ID is a first-party identifier designed for publishers using the AMX RTB adapter. For more information please contact prebid@amxrtb.com

AMX RTB ID Configuration

First, add the AMX RTB ID module to your Prebid.js build:

gulp build --modules=userId,amxIdSystem

Then configure the amxId in your userSync configuration:

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: 'amxId',
            storage: {
                name: 'amxId',
                type: 'html5',
                expires: 14,
            }
        }]
    }
});

This will add a userId.amxId property to all bidRequests. This will be read by the AMX RTB bid adapter, and any other adapters that support EIDs:

{
  amxId: '3ca11058-ecbc-419f-bda7-b52fe7baf02a'
}

BritePool

The BritePool ID is a persistent identifier that enables identity resolution for people-based marketing in the cookieless world. Every BritePool ID is associated with a real identity. As a result, publishers, SSPs and DSPs that integrate with BritePool, or automated integration partners (such as PubMatic), are able to maximize revenues without cookies. As addressable individuals visit publisher websites and mobile apps, the BritePool IDs associated with these identities are passed into the bidstream; enabling advertisers to transact against these BritePool ID’s and publishers to maximize the revenues associated with their inventory and audience. The BritePool ID combines consumer privacy with easy, rapid integration for publishers and does not significantly increase the computing resources required of DSPs and SSPs.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=britepoolIdSystem

BritePool Registration

Please reach out to prebid@britepool.com and request your api_key.

The BritePool privacy policy is at https://britepool.com/services-privacy-notice/.

BritePool Configuration

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example

params.identifier Required String Where identifier in the params object is the key name. At least one identifier is required. Available Identifiers aaid dtid idfa ilid luid mmid msid mwid rida ssid hash params.ssid params.aaid

BritePool Examples

1) Individual params may be set for the BritePool User ID Submodule. At least one identifier must be set in the params.

   pbjs.setConfig({
       userSync: {
           userIds: [{
               name: "britepoolId",
               storage: {
                   name: "britepoolid",
                   type: "cookie",
                   expires: 30
               },
               params: {
                   url: "https://sandbox-api.britepool.com/v1/britepool/id", // optional. used for testing
                   api_key: "xxx", // provided by britepool
                   hash: "yyyy", // example identifier
                   ssid: "r894hvfnviurfincdejkencjcv" // example identifier
               }
           }],
           syncDelay: 3000 // 3 seconds after the first auction
       }
   });

Criteo ID for Exchanges

Criteo is the leading advertising platform for the Open Internet. The Criteo ID for Exchanges module enables publishers to access Criteo’s unique demand - more than 20.000 advertisers & brands - to monetize their exchange inventory with an optimal take rate across all browsing environments. Note that direct access to that demand is also available through Criteo Direct Bidder, in which case this module is unnecessary.

The Criteo privacy policy is at https://www.criteo.com/privacy/.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=criteoIdSystem

Criteo ID Configuration

The Criteo ID module does not require any configuration parameters. It should work as-is provided that bidders use it in their adapters. When calling Criteo RTB, partners should forward this id in the field user.ext.prebid_criteoid.

NOTE: For optimal performance, the Criteo Id module should be called at every opportunity. It embeds its own optimal caching mechanism. It’s best not to use params.storage with this module as it may only lower the performances. If you are using multiple id systems, however, you may use it for the other id systems that supports it.

Criteo ID Example

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "criteo",
        }]
    }
});

FLoC ID

The Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) system provides a privacy-preserving mechanism for interest-based ad selection. As a user moves around the web, their browser uses the FLoC algorithm to work out an “interest cohort”, which will be the same for thousands of browsers with a similar recent browsing history. The user’s browser is associated with one interest cohort at a time and recalculates its cohort periodically (currently once every seven days during this initial origin trial) on the user’s device, without sharing individual browsing data with the browser vendor or anyone else.

There are two important things to note when using the FLoC Userid Sub adapter.

  1. Unlike other user id subadapters FLoC ids cannot be stored in a cookie or Local Storage. FLoC ids change periodically and should always be fetched from the FLoC API

  2. The function (getGlobal()).getUserIds returns userId.flocId.id=value into the bid request NOT userid.userIdAsEids.

To include the FLoC user id module use:

$ gulp build --modules=flocIdSystem

Note: FLoC is still in a trial period. How to take part in the FLoC origin trial. During the trial, a token is required. Publishers may get their own token or use sharedid’s token if they choose. Use this without the line breaks: A3dHTSoNUMjjERBLlrvJSelNnwWUCwVQhZ5tNQ+sll7y+LkPPVZXtB77u2y7CweRIxiYaGw GXNlW1/dFp8VMEgIAAAB+eyJvcmlnaW4iOiJodHRwczovL3NoYXJlZGlkLm9yZzo0NDMiLC JmZWF0dXJlIjoiSW50ZXJlc3RDb2hvcnRBUEkiLCJleHBpcnkiOjE2MjYyMjA3OTksImlzU 3ViZG9tYWluIjp0cnVlLCJpc1RoaXJkUGFydHkiOnRydWV9

ID5 Universal ID

The ID5 ID is a shared, neutral identifier that publishers and ad tech platforms can use to recognise users even in environments where 3rd party cookies are not available. The ID5 ID is designed to respect users’ privacy choices and publishers’ preferences throughout the advertising value chain. For more information about the ID5 ID and detailed integration docs, please visit our documentation.

ID5 ID Registration

The ID5 ID is free to use, but requires a simple registration with ID5. Please visit our website to sign up and request your ID5 Partner Number to get started.

The ID5 privacy policy is at https://id5.io/platform-privacy-policy.

ID5 ID Configuration

First, make sure to add the ID5 submodule to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=id5IdSystem,userId

The following configuration parameters are available:

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String The name of this module: "id5Id" "id5Id"
params Required Object Details for the ID5 ID.  
params.partner Required Number This is the ID5 Partner Number obtained from registering with ID5. 173
params.pd Optional String Partner-supplied data used for linking ID5 IDs across domains. See our documentation for details on generating the string. Omit the parameter or leave as an empty string if no data to supply "MT1iNTBjY..."
params.abTesting Optional Object Allows publishers to easily run an A/B Test. If enabled and the user is in the Control Group, the ID5 ID will NOT be exposed to bid adapters for that request Disabled by default
params.abTesting.enabled Optional Boolean Set this to true to turn on this feature true or false
params.abTesting.controlGroupPct Optional Number Must be a number between 0.0 and 1.0 (inclusive) and is used to determine the percentage of requests that fall into the control group (and thus not exposing the ID5 ID). For example, a value of 0.20 will result in 20% of requests without an ID5 ID and 80% with an ID. 0.1
params.disableExtensions Optional Boolean Set this to true to force turn off extensions call. Default false true or false

NOTE: The ID5 ID that is delivered to Prebid will be encrypted by ID5 with a rotating key to avoid unauthorized usage and to enforce privacy requirements. Therefore, we strongly recommend setting storage.refreshInSeconds to 8 hours (8*3600 seconds) or less to ensure all demand partners receive an ID that has been encrypted with the latest key, has up-to-date privacy signals, and allows them to transact against it.

A Note on A/B Testing

Publishers may want to test the value of the ID5 ID with their downstream partners. While there are various ways to do this, A/B testing is a standard approach. Instead of publishers manually enabling or disabling the ID5 User ID Module based on their control group settings (which leads to fewer calls to ID5, reducing our ability to recognize the user), we have baked this in to our module directly.

To turn on A/B Testing, simply edit the configuration (see above table) to enable it and set what percentage of users you would like to set for the control group. The control group is the set of user where an ID5 ID will not be exposed in to bid adapters or in the various user id functions available on the pbjs global. An additional value of ext.abTestingControlGroup will be set to true or false that can be used to inform reporting systems that the user was in the control group or not. It’s important to note that the control group is user based, and not request based. In other words, from one page view to another, a user will always be in or out of the control group.

ID5 Universal ID Examples

ATTENTION: As of Prebid.js v4.14.0, ID5 requires storage.type to be "html5" and storage.name to be "id5id". Using other values will display a warning today, but in an upcoming release, it will prevent the ID5 module from loading. This change is to ensure the ID5 module in Prebid.js interoperates properly with the ID5 API and to reduce the size of publishers’ first-party cookies that are sent to their web servers. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at prebid@id5.io.

Publisher wants to retrieve the ID5 ID through Prebid.js

pbjs.setConfig({
  userSync: {
    userIds: [{
      name: 'id5Id',
      params: {
        partner: 173,            // change to the Partner Number you received from ID5
        pd: 'MT1iNTBjY...',      // optional, see table above for a link to how to generate this
        abTesting: {             // optional
          enabled: true,         // false by default
          controlGroupPct: 0.1   // valid values are 0.0 - 1.0 (inclusive)
        }
      },
      storage: {
        type: 'html5',           // "html5" is the required storage type
        name: 'id5id',           // "id5id" is the required storage name
        expires: 90,             // storage lasts for 90 days
        refreshInSeconds: 8*3600 // refresh ID every 8 hours to ensure it's fresh
      }
    }],
    auctionDelay: 50             // 50ms maximum auction delay, applies to all userId modules
  }
});

Intent IQ ID

Intent IQ’s universal ID with its unparalleled coverage of over 80% of ad inventory, protects publishers’ ability to rely on advertising as their main revenue source while preserving user privacy in a third party cookieless world.

The universal ID is an Intent IQ generated alphanumeric characters ID representing a person. This ID is not matched with personal information and remains anonymous to Intent IQ.

Intent IQ universal ID enables partners - publishers, SSPs, DSPs, DMPs and advertisers to support, in a privacy-friendly way, and on a person level, core elements of the advertising business model -

  • Targeting across sites and devices
  • Frequency capping
  • Attribution measurement across sites and devices

Intent IQ’s universal ID works across IP addresses and user-agent changes.

Intent IQ’s universal ID truly stands out in the coverage and accuracy it provides. Intent IQ’s universal ID covers over 80% of ad inventory with 90% accuracy. By contrast, third-party cookies offer 56% coverage and log-in solutions offer coverage of less than 20%.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=intentIqIdSystem

Intent IQ ID Registration

You can set up Intent IQ ID by contacting our operations team at Intent IQ Contact Us and getting your partner id.

The Intent IQ ID privacy is covered under the Intent IQ Privacy Policy.

Intent IQ ID Configuration

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String "intentIqId" "intentIqId"
params Required for IntentIqId Object Details for IntentIqId initialization.

            params: {
                partner: 123456			    // valid partner id
            },
            storage: {
                type: "html5",
                name: "intentIqId",         // set localstorage with this name
                expires: 60,
                refreshInSeconds: 4*3600    // refresh ID every 4 hours to ensure it's fresh

This module in COMBINED mode loads external JavaScript to generate optimal quality user ID. It is possible to retrieve user ID, without loading additional script by this module in BASIC mode.

Kinesso ID

Kinesso ID solution is a new approach to persistent cross domain authentication.

How it works

The Kinesso identity solution creates a persistent cross domain authenticated user id that is then used to link users with their interest signals (commonly known as segments). The Kinesso user ID (knsso) is never broadcast into the bid stream. Instead it is sent to a server side data store, merged with accompanying data from the Prebid Id Library and shipped to Kinesso. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit so your identifiers are never stored or transmitted in an insecure manner.

The Kinesso ID sub adapter sets two cookies, one as a third party cookie and the other as a first party cookie in the publisher’s domain. These cookies are merged with the user’s hashed email address (when present) server side and sent to Kinesso. The combined output looks like this:

kpuid knsso hid account_id created on
<my_1pc> <my_3pc> <my_hashed_email> <my_ssp_accountid> <my_birthday>

Kinesso will then attach these users to deals ids that they will target in the ORTB bid stream by brands and agencies represented by IPG.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=kinessoIdSystem

Kinesso ID Registration

You can set up Kinesso ID sub adapter by contacting Kinesso at prebid@kinesso.com

The Kinesso ID privacy policy is covered under the Kinesso Privacy Notice. Please note, at present the Kinesso ID module is not meant for use inside the EEA.

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String The name of this module. 'kpuid'
params Required Object Details for KinessoId initialization  
params.accountid Required Int Your SSP Account Id 123

LiveIntent nonID

LiveIntent offers audience resolution by leveraging our next-generation identity solutions. The LiveIntent identity graph is built around a people-based set of data that is authenticated daily through active engagements with email newsletters and media across the web. The LiveIntent nonID is a user identifier tied to an active, encrypted email in our graph and functions in cookie-challenged environments and browsers.

There are two ways to build your Prebid.js package to include the LiveIntent nonID:

  • The standard version which allows publishers to include the module with full functionalities, like hashing email addresses and identity resolution
  • The minimal version, which allows publishers to deploy a smaller bundle with minimal features, including identity resolution.

Add the full LiveIntent Identity module to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=userId,liveIntentIdSystem

Add the minimal LiveIntent Identity module to your Prebid.js package with:

LiveConnectMode=minimal gulp build –modules=liveIntentIdSystem

The request.userId.lipb object would look like:

{
  "lipbid": "T7JiRRvsRAmh88",
  "segments": ["999"]
}

The adapters can be implemented to use the lipbid as the identifier and segments to which that identifier is associated with. To enable identity resolution for a specific publisher, LiveIntent builds a model on the backend with data collected via an additional call issued on each page load.

How does LiveIntent ID work

The LiveIntent ID sub-module resolves the identity of audiences by connecting impression opportunities to a stable identifier - the nonID. In order to provide resolution one or more first-party cookies are used to create a stable identifier.

How does LiveIntent ID sub-module decide, which first-party cookies to use:

  1. By default LiveIntent ID sub-module generates its own first-party identifier on the publisher’s domain. Publishers have the option to disable the cookie generation when configuring the LiveIntent ID sub-module.
  2. A publisher can also define in the configuration which additional first-party cookies should be used. These can be used in a combination with the LiveIntent first-party cookie.

The LiveIntent ID sub-module sends the defined identifiers to the identity graph, which processes them and creates a nonID. The parameters being sent are described here

For the identity resolution the LiveIntent ID sub-module makes a request to LiveIntent’s identity resolution API, which returns a nonID and the audience segment(s) a user belongs to. The nonID and the segment ID are then exposed by the Prebid User ID Module to Prebid adapters to be sent out in a bid request. An SSP can then make the impression opportunity available to any buyers targeting the segment.

The first-party cookie generation and identity resolution functionality is provided by the LiveConnect JS library, included within the LiveIntent ID sub-module. LiveIntent has created a shared library that is open source, available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-connect-js.

The LiveIntent ID sub-module follows the standard Prebid.js initialization based on the GDPR consumer opt-out choices. With regard to CCPA, the LiveConnect JS receives a us_privacy string from the Prebid US Privacy Consent Management Module and respects opt-outs.

Parrable ID

The Parrable ID is a Full Device Identifier that can be used to identify a device across different browsers and webviews on a single device including browsers that have third party cookie restrictions.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=parrableIdSystem

Parrable ID Registration

Please contact Parrable to obtain a Parrable Partner Client ID and/or use the Parrable Partner Client ID provided by the vendor for each Parrable-aware bid adapter you will be using. Note that if you are working with multiple Parrable-aware bid adapters you may use multiple Parrable Partner Client IDs.

The Parrable privacy policy as at https://www.parrable.com/privacy-policy/.

Parrable ID Configuration

In addition to the parameters documented above in the Basic Configuration section the following Parrable specific configuration is required:

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
params Required Object Details for the Parrable ID.  
params.partners Required Array[String] A list of one or more Parrable Partner Client IDs for the Parrable-aware bid adapters you are using. Please obtain Parrable Partner Client IDs from them and/or obtain your own. [ '30182847-e426-4ff9-b2b5-9ca1324ea09b' ]
params.timezoneFilter Optional Object Configures a timezone or timezone offset filter  
params.timezoneFilter.allowedZones Optional Array[String] description [ 'America/Anchorage' ]
params.timezoneFilter.allowedOffsets Optional Array[Number] description [ -4 ]
params.timezoneFilter.blockedZones Optional Array[String] description [ 'America/New_York' ]
params.timezoneFilter.blockedOffsets Optional Array[Number] description [ -5 ]

NOTE: The Parrable ID that is delivered to Prebid is encrypted by Parrable with a time-based key and updated frequently in the browser to enforce consumer privacy requirements and thus will be different on every page view, even for the same user.

The Parrable ID system manages a cookie with the name of _parrable_id containing the ID and optout states of the user. This cookie is used also by standalone Parrable integrations outside of Prebid. It is for this reason that the cookie name is not configurable for the Parrable ID system.

Timezone and Timezone Offset Filtering

The Parrable ID system enables a publisher to configure lists of allowed timezones (eg. Europe/Dublin) and/or timezone offsets (eg. -4) as well as a lists of blocked timezones and timezone offsets.

  • With no configuration (params.timezoneFilter not set, or all of the lists are empty) all impressions are permitted.
  • With only allow lists configured a browser must match either a timezone or timezone offset for it to not be filtered.
  • With only block lists configured an impression will be filtered only if it is from a browser matching a blocked timezone or timezone offset.
  • An impression from a browser that matches any allowed timezone or timezone offset, but does not match a blocked timezone or timezone offset will engage in the Parrable ID syncronization process.
  • If a browser has a stored Parrable ID then it will not be filtered even if the browser is in a timezone or timezone offset that is blocked.

All configured timezones should follow the TZ database name column from the IANA tz database

Parrable ID Examples

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: `'parrableId'`,
            params: {

              ], // change to the Parrable Partner Client ID(s) you received from the Parrable Partners you are using
              timezoneFilter: {
                  allowedZones: ['America/New_York', 'Europe/Madrid']
              }
            }
        }],

NOTE: The RampID envelope that is delivered to Prebid will be encrypted by LiveRamp with a rotating key to avoid unauthorized usage and to enforce privacy requirements. Therefore, we strongly recommend setting storage.refreshInSeconds to 30 minutes (1800 seconds) to ensure all demand partners receive an ID that has been encrypted with the latest key, has up-to-date privacy signals, and allows them to transact against it.

RampID Examples

1) Publisher passes a Placement ID and elects to store the RampID envelope in a cookie.

NOTE: Make sure that the expiration time of the cookie is similar to what is set in your ATS configuration.

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "identityLink",
            params: {
                pid: '999',                // Set your valid Placement ID here
                // notUse3P: true/false    // If you do not want to use cookieable envelopes until the user authenticates set this property to true
            },
            storage: {
                type: "cookie",
                name: "idl_env",           // "idl_env" is the required storage name
                expires: 15,               // Cookie can last for 15 days
                refreshInSeconds: 1800
            }
        }],
        syncDelay: 3000                    // 3 seconds after the first auction
    }
});

2) Publisher passes a Placement ID and elects to store the RampID envelope in HTML5 localStorage.

NOTE: Make sure that the expiration time of the HTML5 localStorage is similar to what is set in your ATS configuration.

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "identityLink",
            params: {
                pid: '999',                // Set your valid Placement ID here
                // notUse3P: true/false    // If you do not want to use cookieable envelopes until the user authenticates set this property to true
            },
            storage: {
                type: "html5",
                name: "idl_env",           // "idl_env" is the required storage name
                expires: 15,               // HTML5 localStorage can last for 15 days
                refreshInSeconds: 1800
            }
        }],
        syncDelay: 3000                    // 3 seconds after the first auction
    }
});

SharedID

This module stores an unique user id in the first party domain and makes it accessible to all adapters. Similar to IDFA and AAID, this is a simple UUID that can be utilized to improve user matching, especially for iOS and MacOS browsers, and is compatible with ITP (Intelligent Tracking Prevention). It’s lightweight and self contained. Adapters that support SharedId will be able to pick up the user ID and return it for additional server-side cross device tracking.

There is no special registration or configuration for SharedID. Each publisher’s privacy policy should take SharedID into account. Prebid recommends implementing a method where users can easily opt-out of targeted advertising. Please refer to the User Opt-Out section located at the bottom of this page. For more information check out Prebid’s dedicated identity page

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=sharedIdSystem

SharedID ID Configuration

            },
            storage: {
                type: "cookie",
                name: "pbjs-unifiedid",       // create a cookie with this name
                expires: 60
            }
        },{
            name: "sharedId",
            params: {
                pixelUrl: "/wp-json/pubcid/v1/extend/"
            },
            storage: {
                type: "cookie",

                type: "cookie",
                name: "_sharedid",        // create a cookie with this name
                expires: 365              // expires in 1 year
            }
        }]
    }
});

PubProvided ID

The PubProvided Id module allows publishers to set and pass a first party user id into the bid stream. This module has several unique characteristics:

  1. The module supports a user defined function, that generates an eids-style object:
pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "pubProvidedId",
            params: {
                eidsFunction: getIdsFn   // any function that exists in the page
            }
        }]
    }
});

Or, the eids values can be passed directly into the setConfig call:

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "pubProvidedId",
            params: {
                eids: [{
                    source: "domain.com",
                    uids: [{
                        id: "value read from cookie or local storage",
                        atype: 1,
                        ext: {
                            stype: "ppuid"
                        }

                    }]
                }, {
                    source: "3rdpartyprovided.com",
                    uids: [{
                        id: "value read from cookie or local storage",
                        atype: 3,
                        ext: {
                            stype: "dmp"
                        }
                    }]
                }]
            }
        }]
    }
});

In either case, bid adapters will receive the eid values after consent is validated.

  1. This design allows for the setting of any number of uuids in the eids object. Publishers may work with multiple ID providers and nest their own id within the same eids object. The opportunity to link a 1st party uuid and a 3rd party generated UUID presents publishers with a unique ability to address their users in a way demand sources will understand.

  2. Finally, this module allows publishers to broadcast their user id, derived from in-house tech, directly to buyers within the confines of existing compliance (CCPA & GDPR) frameworks.

  3. The eids.uids.ext.stype “source-type” extension helps downstream entities know what do with the data. Currently defined values are:

  • dmp - this uid comes from the in-page dmp named in eids.source
  • ppuid - this uid comes from the publisher named in eids.source
  • other - for setting other id origin signals please use the adCOM! atype spec
  1. Bid adapters listening for “userIds.pubProvidedId” will not receive a string, please use the userIdAsEids value/function to return the userid as a string.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=pubProvidedIdSystem

PubProvided Configuration

Params under usersync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String ID value for the ID module "PubProvided"
params Optional Object Details for syncing.  
params.eidsFunction Optional function any function that exists in the page getIdsFn()
uids.atype optional int ADCOM - Type of user agent the match is from "1"
uids.ext.stype Optional String Description of how the id was generated and by whom (‘ppuid’,’DMP’,’other’) DMP

Quantcast ID

The Prebid Quantcast ID module stores a Quantcast ID in a first party cookie. The ID is then made available in the bid request. The ID from the cookie added in the bidstream allows Quantcast to more accurately bid on publisher inventories without third party cookies, which can result in better monetization across publisher sites from Quantcast. And, it’s free to use! For easier integration, you can work with one of our SSP partners, like PubMatic, who can facilitate the legal process as well as the software integration for you.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=userId,quantcastIdSystem

Quantcast’s privacy policies for the services rendered can be found at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/

Publishers deploying the module are responsible for ensuring legally required notices and choices for users.

The Quantcast ID module will only perform any action and return an ID in situations where:

  1. the publisher has not set a ‘coppa’ flag on the prebid configuration on their site (see pbjs.setConfig.coppa)
  2. there is not a IAB us-privacy string indicating the digital property has provided user notice and the user has made a choice to opt out of sale
  3. if GDPR applies, an IAB TCF v2 string exists indicating that Quantcast does not have consent for purpose 1 (cookies, device identifiers, or other information can be stored or accessed on your device for the purposes presented to you), or an established legal basis (by default legitimate interest) for purpose 10 (your data can be used to improve existing systems and software, and to develop new products).

Quantcast ID Configuration

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String "quantcastId" "quantcastId"
params Optional Object Details for Quantcast initialization.  
params.ClientID Optional String Optional parameter for Quantcast prebid managed service partners. The parameter is not required for websites with Quantcast Measure tag. Reach out to Quantcast for ClientID if you are not an existing Quantcast prebid managed service partner: quantcast-idsupport@quantcast.com  

Quantcast ID Example

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "quantcastId"
        }]
    }
});

Tapad ID

Tapad’s ID module provides access to a universal identifier that publishers, ad tech platforms and advertisers can use for data collection and collation without reliance on third-party cookies. Tapad’s ID module is free to use and promotes collaboration across the industry by facilitating interoperability between DSPs, SSPs and publishers.

To register as an authorized user of the Tapad ID module, or for more information, documentation and access to Tapad’s Terms and Conditions please contact prebid@tapad.com.

Tapad’s Privacy landing page containing links to region-specific Privacy Notices may be found here: https://tapad.com/privacy.html.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=userId,tapadIdSystem

Tapad ID Configuration

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String "tapadId" "tapadId"
params Required Object Details for Tapad initialization.  
params.company_id Required Number Tapad Company Id provided by Tapad 1234567890

Tapad ID Example

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
      userIds: [
        {
          name: "tapadId",
          params: {
            companyId: 1234567890
          },
          storage: {
            type: "cookie",
            name: "tapad_id",
            expires: 1
          }
        }
      ]
    }
});

Unified ID

The Unified ID solution is provided by adsrvr.org and the Trade Desk.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=unifiedIdSystem

Unified ID Registration

You can set up Unified ID in one of these ways:

The Unified ID privacy is covered under the TradeDesk Services Privacy Policy.

Unified ID Configuration

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String "unifiedId" "unifiedId"
params Required for UnifiedId Object Details for UnifiedId initialization.  
params.partner Either this or url required for UnifiedId String This is the partner ID value obtained from registering with The Trade Desk or working with a Prebid.js managed services provider. "myTtdPid"
params.url Required for UnifiedId if not using TradeDesk String If specified for UnifiedId, overrides the default Trade Desk URL. “https://unifiedid.org/somepath?args”
value Optional Object Used only if the page has a separate mechanism for storing the Unified ID. The value is an object containing the values to be sent to the adapters. In this scenario, no URL is called and nothing is added to local storage {"tdid": "D6885E90-2A7A-4E0F-87CB-7734ED1B99A3"}

Unified ID Examples

1) Publisher has a partner ID with The Trade Desk, and is using the default endpoint for Unified ID.

Bug: The default URL did not support HTTPS in Prebid.js 2.10-2.14. So instead of using the ‘partner’ parameter, it’s best to supply the Trade Desk URL as shown in this example.

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "unifiedId",
            params: {
                url: "//match.adsrvr.org/track/rid?ttd_pid=MyTtidPid&fmt=json"
            },
            storage: {
                type: "cookie",
                name: "pbjs-unifiedid",       // create a cookie with this name
                expires: 60                   // cookie can last for 60 days
            }
        }],
        syncDelay: 3000              // 3 seconds after the first auction
    }
});

2) Publisher supports UnifiedID with a vendor other than Trade Desk and HTML5 local storage.

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "unifiedId",
            params: {
                url: "URL_TO_UNIFIED_ID_SERVER"
            },
            storage: {
                type: "html5",
                name: "pbjs-unifiedid",    // set localstorage with this name
                expires: 60
            }
        }],
        syncDelay: 3000
    }
});

3) Publisher has integrated with UnifiedID on their own and wants to pass the UnifiedID directly through to Prebid.js.

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "unifiedId",
            value: {"tdid": "D6885E90-2A7A-4E0F-87CB-7734ED1B99A3"}
        }]
    }
});

Unified ID 2.0

Unified ID 2 is an email based id solution that is owned and operated by the prebid community. Unified ID 2, relies on user consent before an id can be added to the bid stream. Consent can be gathered by SSO providers who have integrated against the UID 2 framework, or Publishers own login & consent mechaninism.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=uid2IdSystem

Unified ID Registration

You can set up Unified ID 2 in one of these ways:

  • Include the module to your pb.js wrapper, no registration is required
  • Utilize a managed services company who can do this for you.

Each publisher’s privacy policy should take UnifiedId 2 into account

Unified ID 2 Configuration

The below parameters apply only to the UID 2.0 User ID Module integration.

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String ID value for the UID20 module - "uid2" "uid2"
value Optional Object Used only if the page has a separate mechanism for storing the UID 2.O ID. The value is an object containing the values to be sent to the adapters. In this scenario, no URL is called and nothing is added to local storage {"uid2": { "id": "eb33b0cb-8d35-4722-b9c0-1a31d4064888"}}

Unified ID 2 Example

Publisher has a integrated with an SSO provider that sets a cookie called __uid2_advertising_token when user consent is granted.

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: 'uid2'
        }]
    }
});

Yahoo ConnectID

Yahoo ConnectID is a person based ID and does not depend on 3rd party cookies. It enables ad tech platforms to recognize and match users consistently across the open web. Built on top of Yahoo’s robust and proprietary ID Graph it delivers a higher find rate of audiences on publishers’ sites user targeting that respects privacy.

Yahoo ConnectID honors privacy choices from the Yahoo Privacy Dashboard as well as global privacy acts.

Add support for Yahoo ConnectID to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=userId,connectIdSystem

Bidder Adapter Implementation

Prebid.js Adapters

Bidders that want to support the User ID module in Prebid.js, need to update their bidder adapter to read the indicated bidRequest attributes and pass them to their endpoint.

ID System Name ID System Host Prebid.js Attr: bidRequest.userId. EID Source Example Value
33Across ID 33Across 33acrossId 33across.com “1111”
Admixer ID Admixer admixerId admixer.net “1111”

Kinesso ID Kinesso kpuid kpuid.com “1111”
LiveIntent ID Live Intent lipb.lipbid liveintent.com “1111”
Lotame Panorama ID Lotame lotamePanoramaId crwdcntrl.net “e4b9…”
MediaWallah OpenLink ID MediaWallah mwOpenLinkId mediawallahscript.com “1111”
merkleID Merkle merkleId merkleinc.com “1111”
naveggId Navegg naveggId navegg.com “1111”
netID netID netId netid.de “fH5A…”
Novatiq ID Novatiq novatiqId novatiq.com “1111”
Parrable ID Parrable parrableId parrable.com {“eid”:”01.15946…”}
Publisher Link ID n/a publinkId epsilon.com  
PubProvided ID n/a pubProvidedId publisher domain “1111”
Quantcast ID n/a quantcastId quantcast.com “1111”
Tapad ID Tapad tapadId tapad.com “1111”
SharedID (PBJS 5.x) n/a pubcid pubcid.org “1111”
SharedID (PBJS 4.x) Prebid sharedid sharedid.org {“id”:”01EAJWWN…”, “third”:”01EAJ…”}
Unified ID Trade Desk tdid adserver.org “1111”
ConnectID Yahoo connectId yahoo.com “72d04af6…”

For example, the adapter code might do something like:

   if (bidRequest.userId && bidRequest.userId.sharedid) {
    url+="&pubcid="+bidRequest.userId.sharedid;
   }

Prebid Server Adapters

Bidders that want to support the User ID module in Prebid Server, need to update their server-side bid adapter to read the desired OpenRTB ‘user.ext.eids.source’ object and forward the relevant values to their endpoint.

See the Prebid.js EIDs javascript source for the definitive list of user EID sources.

Exporting User IDs

If you need to export the user IDs stored by Prebid User ID module, the getUserIds() function will return an object formatted the same as bidRequest.userId.

pbjs.getUserIds() // returns object like bidRequest.userId. e.g. {"pubcid":"1111", "tdid":"2222"}

You can use getUserIdsAsEids() to get the user IDs stored by Prebid User ID module in ORTB Eids format. Refer eids.md for output format.

pbjs.getUserIdsAsEids() // returns userIds in ORTB Eids format. e.g.
[
  {
      source: 'pubcid.org',
      uids: [{
          id: 'some-random-id-value',
          atype: 1
      }]
  },

  {
      source: 'adserver.org',
      uids: [{
          id: 'some-random-id-value',
          atype: 1,
          ext: {
              rtiPartner: 'TDID'
          }
      }]
  },

  {
      source: 'id5-sync.com',
      uids: [{
          id: 'ID5-12345',
          atype: 1,
          ext: {
              linkType: 2,
              abTestingControlGroup: false
          }
      }]
  }
]

pbjs.getUserIds() and pbjs.getUserIdsAsEids() may return only some IDs, or none at all, if they are called before all ID providers have had a chance to initialize - depending on auctionDelay and/or syncDelay, that may need to wait until an auction has completed. To access the complete set of IDs, you may use getUserIdsAsync, which returns a promise that is guaranteed to resolve only once all IDs are available:

pbjs.getUserIdsAsync().then(function (userIds) {
   // all IDs are available here:
   pbjs.getUserIds()       // same as the `userIds` argument
   pbjs.getUserIdsAsEids() 
});

ID Providers

If you’re an ID provider that wants to get on this page:

  • Fork Prebid.js and write a sub-module similar to one of the *IdSystem modules already in the modules folder.
  • Add your *IdSystem name into the modules/.submodules.json file
  • Follow all the guidelines in the contribution page.
  • Submit a Pull Request against the Prebid.js repository.
  • Fork the prebid.org documentation repository, modify /dev-docs/modules/userId.md, /download.md, and submit a documentation Pull Request.

ESP Configurations

Google now supports Encrypted Signals for Publishers(ESP), a program that allows publishers can explicitly share encrypted signals on bid requests with third-party bidders. User ID modules now support code which will register the signal sources and encrypted signal are created and is sent to GAM request in a3p parameter. ‘encryptedSignal’ configuration under userSync Module will help to configure signal sources.

Please find more details Share encrypted signals with bidders (Beta)

Param under userSync Scope Type Description Example
encryptedSignalSources Optional Object Publisher can specify the ESP config by adding encryptedSignal Object under userSync Object  
encryptedSignalSources.sources Required Object An array of Object consist of sources list and encryption flag Check below config as an example
encryptedSignalSources.sources.source Required Array An array of sources for which signals needs to be registered ['sharedid.org','criteo.com']
encryptedSignalSources.sources.encrypt Required Boolean Should be set to false by default. Please find below note true or false
encryptedSignalSources.sources.customFunc Required function This function will be defined for custom sources only and called which will return the custom data set from the page Check below config as an example
encryptedSignalSources.registerDelay Optional Integer The amount of time (in milliseconds) after which registering of signals will happen. Default value 0 is considered if ‘registerDelay’ is not provided. 3000

NOTE: For eids encryption (encryptedSignalSources.encrypt) set to true is not recommended unless downstream is informed of the changes.

NOTE: Publishers enabling passing eids/signal through ESP should reach out to SSPs integrated through OB to make sure to take any additional steps needed to ensure impact on 3p cookie based transaction is handled and impact is minimal.

ESP Configuration Example:

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        ...,
        encryptedSignalSources: {
            "sources": [{
                source: ['sharedid.org', 'criteo.com', 'id5-sync.com', 'pubcid.org', 'audigent.com'],
                encrypt: false
            }, {
                source: ['pubmatic.com'],
                customFunc: () => {
                    return '{"keywords":["tech","auto"]}';
                },
                encrypt: true
            }, {
                source: ['segment.com'],
                customFunc: () => {
                    return '[{ "id": "1", "value": "seg1" },{ "id": "2", "value": "seg2" }]';
                },
                encrypt: true
            }],
            "registerDelay": 3000
        },
        ....
    }
})

This will have no effect until you call the registerSignalSources API. This method must be called after the pbjs.setConfig and gpt.js has loaded. See API reference for registerSignalSources
