WHAT IT JUDGES BY

What Pinterest Ads tokens let you break bots down by

Breakdown the tokens allow

Campaign level only: Pinterest Ads passes no publisher, zone or placement token, so invalid traffic is attributed to the campaign and, where a click id exists, to the click.

No per-click id: each verdict attaches to the visit.

Acting on Pinterest Ads invalid traffic

There is nothing to do with a list of bad sub-source IDs: Pinterest is a closed owned-and-operated platform with no publisher/site/zone/subid layer an advertiser can block — the only exclusion levers are negative keywords and excluded audiences.

Ads Manager > campaign > ad group > Targeting section — only negative keywords (campaign or ad group level) and audience exclusions exist; placement targeting is just include-only Browse/Search/All on Pinterest-owned surfaces
FAQ

Pinterest Ads tracking token FAQs

What are Pinterest Ads tracking tokens?+

Pinterest Ads tracking tokens are macros the network fills in automatically at click time — like a click ID or publisher ID — that you append as URL parameters on your landing-page link. ValidVisit reads the resolved values to attribute and judge each visit.

Do I need a funnel hop to use these macros?+

No. These are plain URL parameters appended to your destination URL. Pinterest Ads substitutes the real values at click time, so there’s no funnel hop, link rewrite, or extra script required.

Where do I add these macros in Pinterest Ads?+

Add them to your campaign’s destination or tracking URL in Pinterest Ads’s own dashboard. Once clicks arrive with the macros populated, ValidVisit attributes and judges each visit automatically.
