Link and tracking
Link
Links must always be included in HTML files, and have a maximum length of 255 characters. All links must be made up of a domain (eg: http://adv.italiaonline.it …) or a click command equivalent: no IP address (eg http: //123.156.789 …).
Tracking – Click count
Optional: it must always be included in the HTML. In case of DEM to the CPC, the count of the final click will be communicated to the customer 7 days after sending, through the official report signed and accredited by ContactLab provider. The report will contain information related to the shipment (Mail sent, Mail delivered, Click, Openings), and a specific detail of the clicks on the links in the DEM. For a correct count of clicks and impressions, must be replaced the anti-caching parameter [timestamp] with distinctive Italiaonline primary key <%${ecm:random(1,1000000000)}%> ecm:process=”false”.
Example
For Libero/Virgilio:
<IMG SRC=”https://…….;ord=<%${ecm:random(1, 1000000000)}%>;dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=;gdpr=${GDPR};gdpr_consent=${GDPR_CONSENT_755}?” BORDER=”0″ HEIGHT=”1″ WIDTH=”1″ ALT=”Advertisement” ecm:process=”false”/>
For Tiscali:

Tracking – Impression count

In the specific case of DEM to the CPC, to have a correct count of clicks and impressions, it is necessary to replace the anti-caching parameter with distinctive Italiaonline primary key <%${ecm:random(1,1000000000)}%> ecm:process=”false” for Libero e Virgilio DEM and %%cid%% for Tiscali DEM.
