This article describes how to configure The Trade Desk Cookie Matching Service tag in your account.
In this article:
This solution requires Tealium iQ and Tealium AudienceStream. The Trade Desk Cookie Matching Service tag sets a new variable named ttd_uuid
. It is stored as a session cookie as well as a standard data layer variable and triggers only once per session, by default.
The Trade Desk Cookie Matching Service tag communicates with the Trade Desk servers to request the current user's identifier. When this value is returned to the tag, it is passed to AudienceStream so that it can be used to populate a visitor attribute containing the synced user ID. This attribute can then be used in The Trade Desk connector actions as a mapping to "Trade Desk ID (TDID)".
Before you add the tag, create the following data layer variables:
ttd_uuid
- UDO Variableutag_main_ttd_uuid
- First Party CookieThese variables are populated automatically by the cookie matching tag.
Go to the Tag Marketplace and add the Trade Desk Cookie Matching Service tag (see how to add a tag).
After adding the tag, configure the below settings:
Load Rules determine when and where to load an instance of this tag on your site.
This tag only needs to run if the cookie match has not already occurred. You can determine this by using the cookie variable utag_main_ttd_uuid
in a load rule condition such as:
utag_main_ttd_uuid
is not defined
The tag also has built-in logic to only fire when the cookie is not defined, but using a load rule will ensure that the tag is not loaded on a page when it has already run for the current session.
Mapping is the process of sending data from a data layer variable to the corresponding destination variable of the vendor Tag. For instructions on how to map a variable to a tag destination, see Data Mappings.
Destination Name | Description |
---|---|
tealium_account |
The Tealium account to sync the user ID to (defaults to current account). |
tealium_profile |
The Tealium profile to sync the user ID to (defaults to current profile). |
gdpr |
Pass a value that indicates if the current user resides in the European Union (EU), and therefore subject to GDPR. |
gdpr_consent_string |
Base64 URL-encoded GDPR consent string. |
order_id |
Overrides the _corder e-commerce extension value. |
Once you save and publish your changes to Prod, the new variables will be available in AudienceStream. The ttd_uuid
variable will appear as an event attribute, but you must create it as a visitor attribute so that it can be used in The Trade Desk connector action.
To add a visitor attribute to store the ttd_uuid
value:
ttd_uuid
.You can now create audiences of visitors that have their Trade Desk User ID populated. Those audiences will be used in connector actions with The Trade Desk. You will map this attribute to the "Trade Desk ID (TDID)" parameter in The Trade Desk connector actions.
