Common mistakes
- 1Deploying DV360 Floodlight tags without consent - they set third-party cookies and transmit conversion data to Google ad servers
- 2Not integrating DV360 with Consent Mode v2, preventing cookieless conversion modelling when consent is denied
- 3Failing to block DV360 cookie matching (cm.g.doubleclick.net) before consent, which syncs user identifiers with bid-side partners
- 4Overlooking that DV360 is the buy-side counterpart to Campaign Manager and shares the doubleclick.net cookie footprint - both should be disclosed in the cookie notice together
Compliance considerations
DV360 sets third-party cookies on doubleclick.net (id, IDE, DSID, RUL) and first-party conversion attribution cookies on the advertiser domain (FPGCLDC). Its ad serving and conversion measurement activities constitute personal data processing under GDPR and require explicit advertising consent. DV360 cookie matching endpoints on cm.g.doubleclick.net must be blocked until consent has been granted. International transfers are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Advertisers should ensure DV360 is disclosed alongside Campaign Manager in the cookie notice because both products share the same underlying doubleclick.net cookie footprint and are both part of the Google Marketing Platform.
