CitrusAd has a “blocked” filters capability that can stop certain products from being selected on placements. The purpose of this feature is to ensure compliance with HFSS restrictions.

This works by blocking any product with a blocked filter from being selected on a placement. Users will see either a “HFSS Restriction” block, or see a message that states that their product is not eligible for selection (if a non-HFSS filter).

This is something we set up for you. Contact your Technical Account Manager to implement this feature.

Integration requirements

For filter blocking on non-HFSS scenarios CitrusAd simply requires the product filters you wish to ensure products are blocked for. You can contact your Technical Account Manager to implement this.

For HFSS: CitrusAd needs a filter implemented in your product catalog specifying the HFSS status per-product. If you're looking to regionally flag HFSS, we can work with that as well.

There are a number of UI warning surfaced to users to make both campaign creation and review easier.

Retailer review warnings

When reviewing campaigns, the retailer sees a “This campaign contains restricted products (HFSS).” warning.

Additionally, there is an “HFSS” warning on the products outlining which products are HFSS, making retailer review easier.
