Landing Page Requirements
Any pages within a client website that collect Personal Identifiable Information (PII) need to have a Privacy Policy. This policy is set to adhere to IAB standards.
On any page soliciting political donations/fundraising, the following text must appear verbatim: "Political donations are not tax exempt". This includes all pages of the site that include anything from a simple donate button to pages that have a full donation form.
Landing pages and ad creative must be in alignment. For instance, if you are running an ad for a candidate, your landing page should be a page on that candidate’s website. If you’re running a PAC’s weigh-in on a ballot issue, your landing page should be that PAC’s website, with information about their views on the issue.
Redirect URLs are not permitted. Please ensure your landing page URL is the final URL.
