Audit-pixel, or external audit, is a tool that allows you to connect third—party technical solutions for auditing advertising events.
Audit Pixel can be enabled for media campaigns in the "Recognition and Reach" tab. Learn more about the launch of display ads
How to set up an audit pixel
If you want to use a third-party event counter for your advertising campaigns, set up an audit pixel:
- In the Campaigns section, on the Campaigns tab, click Create.
- Open the "Recognition and Reach" tab and select the desired advertising object.
- Go to the ad group settings level and insert the audit pixel link in the "Advanced Settings" block.
VK Advertising will prepare pixels for all available events for your verifier. List of available events
Audit-pixels work at the group level and count the total statistics.
If you want to track statistics for each banner separately, create a separate group for each ad and add your own audit pixel for each one.
