Create and manage Floodlight groups

A Floodlight group is a collection of advertisers sharing Floodlight and attribution settings. Floodlight groups are similar to Floodlight configurations in Campaign Manager 360. You can share Floodlight groups across multiple advertisers within a partner if you have partner-level access. To create an advertiser with a Floodlight group managed in Display & Video 360 see Create an advertiser.

Note that if you manage Floodlight for a Display & Video 360 advertiser through a linked Campaign Manager 360 account, you’ll continue to use Campaign Manager 360 to manage Floodlight.

You can manage your Floodlight group basic details, Floodlight activities, and assigned advertisers by selecting a specific group from Floodlight Groups under the partner. From this page you can view:

  • Floodlight group basic details: View basic Floodlight group settings such as tag types, conversion windows, and third-party integrations from this tab. 
  • Floodlight activities: View individual Floodlight activities from this tab. 
    • Click into a Floodlight activity to manage that activity’s basic details or view its code to place on the website or app where you want to track events.
  • Assigned advertisers: View the number of advertisers associated with each Floodlight Group.

To create a new Floodlight group:

  1. From the partner, click Floodlight Groups in the left menu.
  2. Click the New Floodlight Group button.
  3. Name your Floodlight group.
  4. (Optional) You can edit the following settings:

    • Web tag settings: Determine if you want image tags only or dynamic tags. Note that dynamic tags can't be delivered when image tags are implemented. However, dynamic tags will still be delivered for any Iframe Floodlight tags you've already implemented. Learn more

    • Personalized ad exclusions: Exclude locations from personalized ads for this Floodlight configuration. This allows you to manage how user data is collected and used, and prevent users from being added to audience lists or remarketed to. These settings will apply to all Floodlight activities in the configuration.

    • Default consent settings for tag data:  Indicate if you want to automatically mark tag data as consented. If data sent through Google tag, or other sources, is not labeled with consent, Google will not be able to use it for such purposes as ads personalization. 
    • Default consent settings for imported and uploaded data: Indicate if you want to automatically mark data imported or uploaded to Google as consented. If data is not labeled with consent, Google will not be able to use it for such purposes as ads personalization.

       

    • Services that can receive tag data and Services that can receive imported and uploaded data: You can decide which Google services can receive consented end-user data. What is a Google service?

Select all Google services that are allowed to receive user-consented data for measurement and personalization.

      Ensure that you provide information to users about which Google services receive their consented end-user data.

    • Conversion window: Set how many days into the past you want to look when determining whether to record a conversion.

    • Integrations: Add any third-party integrations.

    • Activity groups: Add activity groups to organize Floodlight activities in reports.
