Adform ads not blocked

Hi @wpadmi,

I would usually recommend inserting these scripts “normally” as they had been provided to you, so without the added parameters, and then let Complianz block them (so that it will then insert those parameters automatically in the scripts that it finds) by adding their URL/script name as an “URL that should be blocked” under Complianz > Integrations > Script Center > Block a script, iFrame or Plugin.

For AdSense, this should already work when indicating that your website ‘displays personalized ads’ during completion the Wizard. You can enable this under: Complianz > Wizard > Services > Does your website use cookies for advertising? > Are any of your advertising cookies used to show personalized ads? > “Yes”.

For AdForm, I would try the following configuration under Complianz > Integrations > Script Center > Block a script, iFrame or plugin.

Kind regards, Jarno

Hello Jarno,
many thanks for your answer and advice.

I made a change in the integration as you suggested, in Integrations > Script Center > Block a script, iFrame or plugin

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5uz19f48wxtp766/skript_blok.png?dl=0

Then I edited the code and removed the redundant attributes:

<script language="javascript" src="https://track.adform.net/adfscript/?bn=43721553"></script>
<noscript>
<a  target="_blank">
<img src="https://track.adform.net/adfserve/?bn=43721553;srctype=4;ord=[timestamp]" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt=""/>
</a>
</noscript>

This change actually blocks Adform ad scripts, but when marketing cookies are approved, Adform ads are not displayed, which is obviously wrong.

So how do I change the settings so that these ads appear after the cookie banner has been approved?

Thanks again, best.

Hi @wpadmi,

Just to be sure, could you save your new AdForm integration under Complianz > Integrations > Script Center > Block a script… once more? Please clear/purge cache in any caching tools as well.

Because I see a number of scripts in the DevTools Inspector (prior to consent) containingadform.net that I would have expected to get blocked.

So that they would appear similar to the adsbygoogle ones:

Hope it helps! Kind regards, Jarno

Hi Jarno,
thanks again for your help,
I deleted the settings for blocking AdForm script and created it again,

then I made sure that nowhere in the AdForm scripts are the attributes data-category=”marketing” data-service=”adform_ads”, 

I cleared the cache and then opened the browser in an anonymous window, preferably with the link https://7sport.sk?purge=1

but the same thing still happens, AdForm advertising is blocked before consenting to cookies, after consenting to marketing cookies AdForm advertising remains blocked.

FYI: Now I had to disable the blocking, the client must have the ads working.

So I still need your help, thank you!

Hi @wpadmi,

If the scripts were being correctly blocked & reloaded by Complianz, but the ads are not inserted after re-initializing the scripts (although I’m unable verify now that the integration is disabled), they might require a slightly different insertion approach than the Google ones.?

Complianz handles consent for the scripts, although for the ad insertion itself, you may need to adjust the configuration of your ad insertion plugin(s) to ensure correct insertion of these ads after consent.

These plugins can be configured to insert ads when consent in Complianz is obtained, a detailed configuration article for one such plugin (Advanced Ads) can be found here: https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/ad-cookie-consent/?

Kind regards, Jarno
