Note:As per the Google’s EU User Consent Policy, the
process_consent flag needs to be set for this integration. Accordingly, Zeotap CDP sends process_consent=True. Therefore, whenever you send first-party seed data through this integration, always ensure that you obtain end-user consent before sharing it with Zeotap CDP. To know more about how this consent is processed, refer here.Overview
Google DDP allows third-party data providers to create/license segments for clients using the Google Ad technology products like DFP (Doubleclick for Publishers) or DBM (Doubleclick Bid Manager). Zeotap’s integration with Google DDP helps Publishers/Advertisers unlock the power to deliver timely, personalised and consistent customer experiences.Note:In terms of data leakage, Google only has access to the user IDs (Ad IDs, cookies) and does not know what data is mapped to those IDs. Therefore, Google never has access to the data. For the clients who use the lists, Google does not allow them to download those lists. Therefore, they also do not have the access to the data mapped to the user IDs.

Link an Audience to the Google DDP Destination
For information about how to link an Audience or segment to the created Destination in Audiences and Target applications, refer here. Note that the audience is reflected almost instantly within the DDP platform. Note that it can take up to seven business days for the segment to be available at the Google DDP seat.Note:Ensure that the following points are taken care of while working with the Google DDP Destination:
- The terms Audiences and Segments are used interchangeably to refer to customer cohorts belonging to a specific category. For example, an Audience or a segment can be a specific group of customers who are over 18 years of age and have performed an
addToCartevent within the last 30 days. - Zeotap allows you to enable LAL extension for DV360 exclusively through Google DDP.
User Disqualification from Audiences
This integration supports user disqualification from audiences. That is, a user can be disqualified from an audience (segment) for various reasons, such as not meeting audience criteria, consent requirements or other conditions set for a particular audience.- When a user disqualifies from an audience, Zeotap CDP initiates a user deletion request in the next refresh cycle. These requests are sent to the audiences linked to the specific destination.
- The disqualified users are excluded from the audiences based on the configured refresh frequency for a particular audience.
- User disqualification is a programmatic process that works automatically. You do not need to specify anything to trigger the disqualification and exclusion of users from audiences.
