Cookie Sync

Overview

Cookie syncing allows Nexx360 to share user identifiers with demand partners, improving match rates and bid performance. There are two approaches: passing IDs directly in the bid request, or using Nexx360's cookie sync endpoints.

ID Sharing via Bid Request

When a seller is already synced with third-party partners, they can share user IDs through the user.ext.eids field in the OpenRTB request.

EID Format

{
    "source": "adnxs.com",
    "uids": [
        {
            "id": "6193521930111213563"
        }
    ]
}

Nexx360 provides two cookie sync endpoints that DSPs can use to sync user IDs with Nexx360.

Redirect Endpoint

This endpoint reads the Nexx360 user cookie (xxuid), and if a redirect URL is provided, replaces the $UID macro with the user ID and redirects the user to that URL.

Query Parameters

Parameter
Required
Description

gdpr

No

GDPR applies flag (0 or 1)

gdpr_consent

No

TCF consent string

us_privacy

No

US Privacy (CCPA) string

gpp

No

Global Privacy Platform string

gppsid

No

GPP Section ID

redir

No

URL-encoded redirect URL with $UID macro

Example

This will redirect the user to https://dsp.com/sync?uid=<xxuid> where <xxuid> is the Nexx360 user ID.

Behavior

  • If GDPR consent is required but not valid, returns 200 with no sync.

  • If no xxuid cookie is present, returns 204.

  • If no redir parameter is provided, the cookie is refreshed and returns 204.

  • If a valid redir is provided, replaces $UID with the user ID and responds with a 302 redirect.

  • Only the $UID macro is supported. Other macros will return a 400 error.

Iframe Endpoint

This endpoint returns an HTML page that can be loaded in an iframe. The page embeds the Nexx360 user ID and privacy parameters, then executes a cookie sync script that handles syncing with multiple demand partners.
