LiveRamp RampID

RampID, formerly known as IdentityLink, provided by LiveRamp is a single person-based identifier which allows marketers, platforms and publishers to perform personalized segmentation, targeting and measurement use cases that require a consistent, cross-channel view of the user in anonymous spaces.

Add it to your Prebid.js package with:

gulp build –modules=identityLinkIdSystem

RampID Registration

LiveRamp’s RampID is free of charge and only requires a simple registration with Liveramp. Please sign up through our Console platform and request a Placement ID, a unique identifier that is used to identify each publisher, to get started.

The RampID privacy policy is at https://liveramp.com/privacy/service-privacy-policy/.

RampID Configuration

Param under userSync.userIds[] Scope Type Description Example
name Required String The name of LiveRamp’s user ID module. "identityLink"
params Required Object Container of all module params.  
params.pid Required String This is the Placement ID, a unique identifier that is used to identify each publisher, obtained from registering with LiveRamp. "999"
params.notUse3P Not required Boolean Property for choosing if a cookieable RampID envelope (RTIS) should be set and stored until the user authenticates which then will be replaced by an authenticated RampID envelope (ATS) (either true or false). false
storage Required Object This object defines where and for how long the results of the call to get a RampID envelope will be stored.  
storage.type Required String This parameter defines where the resolved RampID envelope will be stored (either "cookie" or "html5" localStorage). "cookie"
storage.name Required String The name of the cookie or html5 localstorage where the resolved RampID envelope will be stored. LiveRamp requires "idl_env". "idl_env"
storage.expires Required Integer How long (in days) the RampID envelope information will be stored. To be GDPR and CCPA compliant, we strongly advise to set a 15-day TTL (“Time to Live” / expiration time). If you are not planning to obtain RampID envelopes for EU/EEA or U.S. users, we advise you to change the expiration time to 30 days. 15
storage.refreshInSeconds Required Integer The amount of time (in seconds) the RampID envelope should be cached in storage before calling LiveRamp again to retrieve a potentially updated value for the RampID envelope. 1800

NOTE: The RampID envelope that is delivered to Prebid will be encrypted by LiveRamp with a rotating key to avoid unauthorized usage and to enforce privacy requirements. Therefore, we strongly recommend setting storage.refreshInSeconds to 30 minutes (1800 seconds) to ensure all demand partners receive an ID that has been encrypted with the latest key, has up-to-date privacy signals, and allows them to transact against it.

RampID Examples

1) Publisher passes a Placement ID and elects to store the RampID envelope in a first-party cookie.

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "identityLink",
            params: {
                pid: "999",             // Set your Placement ID here
                notUse3P: false
            },
            storage: {
                type: "cookie",
                name: "idl_env",        // "idl_env" is the required storage name
                expires: 15,            // RampID envelope can last for 15 days
                refreshInSeconds: 1800  // RampID envelope will be updated every 30 minutes
            }
        }],
        syncDelay: 3000                 // 3 seconds after the first auction
    }
});

2) Publisher passes a Placement ID and elects to store the RampID envelope in HTML5 localStorage.

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: "identityLink",
            params: {
                pid: "999",             // Set your Placement ID here
                notUse3P: false
            },
            storage: {
                type: "html5",
                name: "idl_env",        // "idl_env" is the required storage name
                expires: 15,            // RampID envelope can last for 15 days
                refreshInSeconds: 1800  // RampID envelope will be updated every 30 minutes
            }
        }],
        syncDelay: 3000                 // 3 seconds after the first auction
    }
});
