Additional SDK Settings for Adobe Air

GDPR – Managing Consent

Unity LevelPlay and network support publisher communication of a user’s consent choice, including passing this information to mediated networks (for supported networks).

To use ironSource’s API to update a user’s consent status, use this functions:

If the user provided consent, please set the following flag to true:

IronSource.instance.setConsent(true);

If the user did not consent, please set the following flag to false:

IronSource.instance.setConsent(false);

It’s recommended to set the API prior to SDK Initialization.

A detailed article regarding ironSource’s approach to GDPR and user consent can be found here.

CCPA Compliance

Unity LevelPlay platform (SDK Version 6.14.0 and above) supports publishers to restrict the sale of end users personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

The notification about personal information of specific users located in California should be handled based on a “do not sell” setting, by setting its value to “true” or “false”.

The API should be set before initializing the SDK.

If the user has opted out of “sale” of personal information:

IronSource.instance.setMetaData("do_not_sell","true");

If “sale” of personal information is permitted:

 IronSource.instance.setMetaData("do_not_sell","false");

A detailed article regarding ironSource’s approach to CCPA can be found here.

Set UserID

If you’re using server-to-server callbacks to reward your users with our rewarded ad units, you must set the UserID.

 In the case you want to define the userID manually, you must do this before the init request. You cannot define the userID after the init request.

The userID is a unique identifier for each of your users. You can set the userID parameter, or omit it and let us generate one for you. If you choose to skip setting the userID in your code, the SDK will generate an equitable userID.

We support String (Android) or NSString (iOS) from 1 to 64 characters. Common practice is to use the Google Advertising ID (GAID) or Apple Advertising ID (IDFA). More information on User IDs can be found here.

IronSource.instance.setUserId(YOUR_USER_ID);

Define Segments

You can now easily tailor the way you serve your ads to fit a specific audience! You’ll need to inform our servers of the users’ details so the SDK will know to serve ads according to the segment the user belongs to.

ironSource supports three methods to convey data to our servers to outline the user segment, namely:

  • Device Properties: the ironSource SDK collects certain standard parameters that pertain to the users’ device automatically such as device model, device manufacturer, app version, OS, etc. You do not need to convey this data to us
  • User Properties: user data which is not collected by our SDK, such as age, gender, creation date, etc. (see full list of supported segment properties with descriptions below) must be relayed through the API. Follow the instructions to send us these details so our SDK can apply the relevant ad settings to the segments you defined on the ironSource platform
  • Custom Segments: you can create a custom segment without conveying user details to our servers and tailor ad settings for that user segment

Pass User Properties

Once you’ve defined segments on the ironSource platform, you’ll need to inform our servers of the user’s particulars.

Segments must be set before initializing the SDK.

First you must import the ironSource segment class to segment your users:

import com.ironsource.adobeair.IronSourceSegment;

Define the properties that will be sent to our servers on which to base the segments. You can transmit this information through one of the following methods:

  1. If you are familiar with the segment that the user belongs to, enter the segment name:
    IronSourceSegment segment = new IronSourceSegment ();
            segment.segmentName = "nameOfSegment";
    
  2. Send us the user details. ironSource provides a range of standard user properties that you can set to attribute a user to a segment in the API.  Scroll down for a table of the support user segment properties.
    // Create segment object
    var segment:IronSourceSegment = new IronSourceSegment();
    // Set user age
    segment.age = age;
    // Set user gender
    segment.gender = "gender";
    // Set user's level
    segment.level = levelnumber;
    // Set user creation date
    segment.userCreationDate=creationData
    // Set user's total in-app purchases
    segment.iapt = numberOfInAppPurchases;
    // Set user's paying status, 1 is yes 0 is no
    segment.isPaying = payingStatus;

    In addition, you can set up to 5 custom user properties per segment:

    // Set custom parameters (up to 5)
    segment.setCustom("customKey1", "value1");
    segment.setCustom("customKey2", "value2");
           
    

Next, to serve your ad units based on segments, call the following function complete with either the segment name or user properties:

IronSource.instance.setSegment(segment);

Supported User Segment Properties

Segment Properties Type Limitation Description
segmentName String
  • alphanumeric
  • up to 32 letters
The given name of the segment in your ironSource account
Age Int 1-99 The user’s age
Gender String female or male The user’s gender
Paying Boolean True or False
  • True if the user has spent any money on in-app purchases
  • False if the user has not spent any money on in-app purchases
iap_total Double 1-999999.99 The total amount of money that the user has spent on in-app purchases
userCreationDate Long Cannot be smaller than 0 The date the user installed the app, e.g. [NSDate date]
Custom Parameters key=string, value=string
  • ironSource supports up to 5 custom parameters
  • alphanumeric
  • up to 32 letters
Any additional data you’d like to dispatch to our server

Register to the following callback to receive the segment name that your user belongs to. If the callback string (segment name) returns empty, there were no correlating segments found for the user in the ironSource Segment module.

IronSource.instance.addEventListener(“onSegmentReceived”, onSegmentReceived);

Sample implementation:

function onSegmentReceived(event:DataEvent):void {
                trace (“onSegmentReceived: ” + event.data);
            }

Custom Parameters for Adobe Air

The ironSource SDK supports the ability for you to pass custom Parameters on the initialization of the Rewarded Video ad unit. You will then receive this data upon user’s completion event.

Note: Note:
  1. Custom parameters work only in conjunction with server-to-server completion callbacks. You will receive the parameter as part of the callback string.
  2. You may insert more than one custom parameter to the Init request.

Implementation Code

Rewarded Video

Note:  Note:
  • Custom Parameters can be set several times per session.
  • To reset the value, use clearRewardedVideoServerParameters, and then set the new value.
IronSource.instance.setRewardedVideoServerParameters(YOUR_CUSTOM_PARAMETERS);

In addition, you can remove custom parameters for Rewarded Video by calling this function:

IronSource.instance.clearRewardedVideoServerParameters();

Price limitations using waterfall configuration (beta)

Set Waterfall Configuration is an API that can be used to dynamically set limits for the waterfall: price ceiling and price floor. You can use it to set limits and dynamically affect the WF returned per user, resulting in reduced load times and latency. 

Limits include, and can be any combination of these parameters:

Properties Type Description
ceiling double The price in USD, which defines the maximal eCPM applies to traditional instances
floor double The price in USD, which defines the minimal eCPM applies to traditional instances and bidders

Create a waterfall configuration

The WaterfallConfiguration class represents a configuration object for customizing or filtering a waterfall. Implement the following to create a waterfall configuration:

var builder:WaterfallConfigurationBuilder = new WaterfallConfigurationBuilder();
        builder.SetCeiling(ceiling);
        builder.SetFloor(floor);
var configuration:WaterfallConfiguration = builder.Build();
        IronSource.instance.setWaterfallConfiguration(configuration,ISAdFormat.AdUnitName);

Clearing a Waterfall Configuration

It is possible to change the waterfall configuration during the session. To clear the configuration for a given ad unit, use the `empty` WaterfallConfiguration function:

var builder:WaterfallConfigurationBuilder = new WaterfallConfigurationBuilder();
var configuration:WaterfallConfiguration = builder.Build();
IronSource.instance.setWaterfallConfiguration(configuration.Empty(),ISAdFormat.AdUnitName);

ironSource SDK Error Codes

ironSource provides an error feedback mechanism to provide explanation for any failure in the SDK integration. You will receive these errors when something went wrong or an aspect of the integration wasn’t completed correctly.

The ironSource Error object contains an error code and message. These are all the possible errors and their message based on their functions:
