Choice + Ad Inserter Setup & Support

If I turn GTM preview mode, there’s no error that I wrote about in previous post, on any of my websites. (??)

Hi @spacetime @rbaronqc :
I just saw the updated error report now : Finding the error count decreasing but the errors have been detected on 24th August also which is after configuring the updates from Adinserter and QC.So I am confused if the problem is recurring.Kindly advise.

Hi @spacetime and @rbaronqc, today I could check well and I’m facing exact same problem as @vsharmilee, errors decreased a bit, but all errors are still there at Adsense, after implementing Adinserter Pro and Quantcast. I was working hand to hand the day before yesterday with Ad Inserter plugin developer to have everything correct (ads do not load, until Quantcast choice is accepted), so maybe the problem comes thru Quantcast? What you think both? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest to ask some AdSense expert. It is very hard to diagnose why those messages appear and where the problem is.

If I understand correctly a publisher from EU needs to ask for the consent ALL visitors, while publishers outside EU only those in EU.
This is a setting in the Choice plugin.

@spacetime, thanks! We tryed hiring an Adsense expert a few days ago as I wrote in another post, but finally had to return the money (cancel de order), because didn’t know how to solve it by depending on Quantcast and Adinserter. The situation is complex at all levels…

I’m not sure how can we control or solve this type of errors by our side, as seems something that Quantcast has to analyze and see why it’s happening, maybe?, not sure:

– ERROR: 1.1

– DESCRIPTION:
Google, as a vendor, is not allowed under consent or legitimate interest.

– SUGGESTED ACTION TO TAKE:
Confirm whether the user intentionally rejected Google as a vendor, CMP implementation errors have occurred, or there are publisher restrictions.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

– ERROR: 2.1a

– DESCRIPTION:
Tag or SDK isn’t receiving a TC string due to CMP status being stub, loading, or error.

– SUGGESTED ACTION TO TAKE:
If you’re manually invoking the function to request ads, make sure the response to getTCData TCData.eventStatus = ‘tcloaded’ OR ‘cmpuishown’ + ‘useractioncomplete’. These indicate the CMP is ready to provide the user with a choice regarding consent.

If you’re not manually invoking the function to request ads, then work with your CMP to ensure they implement support for getTCData and return TCData.eventStatus = ‘tcloaded’ OR ‘cmpuishown’ + ‘useractioncomplete’ to indicate the user consent is ready for use through the API.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I Found too what that Unknown website list means:

Unknown domain (Desconocido):

DESCRIPTION:
Ad requests detected from a domain that is not registered in the account.

COMMENT:
A small percentage of such requests is normal, as some users can access the site’s content from caches of 3rd party web services.

MONETIZATION STATUS:
Often, error 1.1 is stated for Unknown domain events. In this case, the ad requests are not filled.

@rbaronqc @spacetime : The error count has started increasing in todays report and last detected date shows as 25th August so the code is missing something I guess.Kindly check and advise.

Hello everyone and @rbaronqc.

I am going nuts trying to implement choice + ad inserter, as I am getting error 2.1a in AdSense. I have installed choice on my website https://www.starswelt.com, but I got a problem with targeting cookie parameters in ad inserter. Whenever I insert the following value “euconsent-v2[vendor][consents][755]=true && euconsent-v2[purpose][consents][1]=true, euconsent-v2[gdprApplies]=false” my ad wont load and in debugging i get the error waITING FOR tcData. I see that cookie euconsent-v2 is stored in https://www.starswelt.com instead of .starswelt.com. Is there maybe something else I should include in my code to target a consent cookie? Even if I only put euconsent-v2 in URL parameters I also get the same waiting for TcData error.

I have bought adinserter pro hoping that this will maybe fix this error, but no luck so far. My revenue is plummeting and I am kinda in despair to get a fix ASAP.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might help.

@vsharmilee @spacetime when loading the page sharmispassions.com I still see ads in the background, when I have not yet given consent.

Also when I check the code on the page I see google scripts on the page before I have given consent. I’m not sure if there is more than 1 plugin at play adding scripts to the page but I think that this is the issue. It is my understanding that these scripts cannot be added to the page with out consent. If I look at the code without having yet given consent I see a tag for “https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/…” and some other google ad related tags.

@rbaronqc @vsharmilee

Ad Inserter (Pro) inserts the codes as configured.
So if you have configured blocks to insert the code when euconsent-v2 conditions are present, then the blocks (the ad codes) are inserted ONLY when the consent is given and euconsent-v2 coditions are present.
You can always check thr source code and use debugging functions to label blocks.

Very likely you are inserting those scripts (found in the source code) outside of Ad Inserter (other plugins, theme settings, hardcoded in theme files, etc).

@spacetime @rbaronqc All the ads that I have placed manually is inside adinserter plugin only but the ad in the screenshot you had given and few other ads in sidebar I see..Should be from google adsense autoads which is outside of adinserter.Autoads are ads placed by google when we enable autoads tab in adsense settings.Kindly advise how do we take care of consent for autoads?

@fanstebg

The debugging message WAITING FOR tcData shown for each block configured for euconsent-v2 cookie is not an error.

It only means that Ad Inserter is waiting for the TCF API data (used by Quantcast Choice) to return consent data.
This usually happens before the consent is given.

Remote debugging on https://www.starswelt.com doesn’t seem to be enabled so I can’t check.

@spacetime @rbaronqc :
Hi,
I have a query so wanted to confirm.
Do you have any idea how to bring autoads into adinserter? or
Can the google ads header script be included in adinserter itself? so that all the ads that come from google will be through adinserter.

@spacetime @rbaronqc

I managed to successfully implement ads to wait for consent on my second website https://www.planetecelebre.com/top-12-des-plus-belles-joueuses-de-football-au-monde/ , but now my ad sizes are completely broken and they go above layout, while some ads are a smaller size than normal.

@vsharmilee

For ANY (javascript) code that needs to be inserted only after the consent is given:

Put the code in a block, select No wrapping as alignmet, Footer (for example) as insertion position and define cookie conditions.
Then the code will be inserted only when the consent is given.

@fanstebg

Usually this happens when the responsive AdSense code does not identify available width properly – maybe because of the layopt of your theme.
Try to use fixed ad sizes.
