Viewability Grid

CESP underlines that this document is based on CESP trust in all information shared by each measurement company.

To navigate in a table :
– on computer : scroll vertically to compare various answers.
– on mobile : we recommand you switch to landscape format for a better display.

You can download the grid you want in Excel format while filtering measurement companies but also the global grid concerning viewability in PDF format,  for web and app environments.

Measurement companies are splited in differents tabs according to whether their solution has been accredited by the MRC (Media Rating Council) or not.

23) Do you have any limitations on Safari for cross-domain iframe?

Yes,

Adloox isn't able to detect browser focus in cross-origin environment

Yes,

Desktop: Viewability for cross-domain impressions can be measured in older Safari versions (<9) where another vCE Tag is present for a no-iFrame ad

Mobile Browser: Cross-domain viewability can be measured if the comScore UDM™ tag or another vCE Tag is present in a no-iFrame ad or via the requestAnimationFrameAPI in Safari 9+.

No

Yes,

Deeply nested iframes may produce measurement limitations.

Yes,

Meetrics is currently not able to determine the position of the browser window in situations where the Meetrics-Measurement-Script is bound within a cross-site-iframe in Safari Browser

No

24) Do you have any limitations on Chrome for cross-domain iframe?

Yes,

Adloox isn't able to detect browser focus in cross-origin environment

No limitation on the desktop environment.

For Mobile Browser viewability measurement, environment, in older versions of Chrome (<51), the comScore UDM™ tag needs also to be present, or another vCE Tag is present in a no-iFrame ad must be present to enable viewability measurement. For Chrome 51+, Comscore uses the IntersectionObserverAPI to measure viewability.

Yes,

JavaScript is required for Viewability measurement

Yes.

Limitation Related to Motorola Android 6.0.1 Embedded Browser Classification
Webviews employed by embedded browsers have the same width as the screen and their height is 75% or more of the screen height, allowing for the mobile status bar. These expected dimensions contribute to vCE classification of embedded browsers as opposed to native in-app or mobile web. However, for Motorola phones running Android 6.0.1 , Comscore has determined that the webview is slightly narrower than the screen width. This fails their embedded browser test, causing the rendered platform to be classified as in-app. Their testing has confirmed this is a very narrow limitation impacting only one application (others are unaffected).

JavaScript and Supported Browsers
All browsers implementing a current generation JavaScript runtime environment can run the Comscore JavaScript measurement code. If JavaScript is disabled, only pixel events can be generated from the portion of the Comscore AdEffx tag.

Yes,

Certain browsers and iFrame scenarios may have additional security limitations which prevent the use of geometric methodology. In these cases, viewability may be ascertained using IAB-standard APIs.


Yes

- JavaScript is required for all methods.
- If IAS’s server domains are listed as ad servers in blocking software, the IAS servers will be blocked.
- Ad integrated in deeply nested iframes can be hard to measure, especially in old IE versions.

Yes,

If the user disabled JavaScript support.

If the user ends its session before the Meetrics tag has been rendered

Yes,

Scroll rate is not measurable if the Moat tag loads inside a hostile iframe.
If the user has disabled JavaScript, Moat will not measure the impression
