  • Time Frame Days: Choose the time frame for the frequency cap.
    • 1-14 days
  • Line Recency: Sets the minimum allowable amount of time between ads shown to an individual user.

  • Cap By:
    • IP (default): Caps impressions at the household level based on a user’s IP address. Commonly used for CTV environments.
    • IFA: Caps impressions at the device level using an Identifier for Advertising (IFA). Typically used in app-based environments where cookies are not supported (e.g., mobile and CTV apps).
    • Cookies (EU only): Caps impressions at the browser level using cookies. Available in EU-supported web environments where cookie-based tracking is permitted.

For example:

  • Line Frequency: 10
  • Time Frame Days: 1
  • Line Recency: 30 minutes
  • Cap By: Ip

This means, for this Line, the ad will be shown up to 10 times per user within a 1-day window, with a minimum of 30 minutes between each ad shown to the same IP Address.
