Configure curation settings (Beta)

• Control sharing of data and secure signals with the curation partner. Learn more about secure signals .
• When you send an ad request to Ad Manager with relevant signals, Google will send the signal to the curation partner.
• The curation partner returns a data segment ID to Ad Manager.
• A buyer has targeted a "data segment" in their deal creation, creating a Deal ID which is shared with DSPs.
• When the data segment returned by the curation partner matches buyer targeting, Ad Manager sends a bid request with the associated Deal ID to DSPs. Google handles the fee payment to the curation partner (taken out of the bid price).
• Curation partners define the fee of the data segment or curated package. It is a single fee that is fully transparent to the buyer. Google then handles the fee payment to the curation partner (taken out of the bid price before it enters the auction).

To share the data: 

1. Sign in to Google Ad Manager.
2. Click Inventory, and then Curation settings. 
   
3. Under "Curation partner," review the list of partners.
4. For each curation partner, control the following signal sharing settings by toggling the switches on or off :
   • Allow data sharing: Controls whether Ad Manager shares data with a given partner. Since partners can choose the signals they receive, the specific data shared depends on the partner’s configuration. This option includes a set of contextual signals, user identifiers, and secure signals:
     • For curation partners set up to receive contextual signals, the "Allow data sharing toggle controls whether we share those signals. Contextual signals include: URL, App ID, Pub ID, GPID, user geography at the metro level, and TCF consent string.
     • For curation partners set up to receive user identifiers and secure signals, the "Allow data sharing" toggle controls whether we share user identifiers. User identifiers include Device ID, Ad Manager third-party cookie, and Hosted Match data. Secure signal sharing will be controlled by the separate toggle named "Share secure signals." Note that turning on "Allow data sharing" also turns on "Share secure signals."
   • Share secure signals: Controls whether Ad Manager shares secure signals with a given partner. To use this control, "Allow data sharing" must be enabled for a partner, and the partner must be configured to receive secure signals. 
5. Click Save.

• You allow curation partners to package your inventory.
• Curation partners can access a dedicated interface to create inventory packages based on different targeting dimensions (such as URL, App ID, environment, user geography, and so on), creating a Deal ID.
• A curation partner shares a Deal ID with the buyer, which can be subscribed to within the agency seat.

By default, allowing inventory packaging is on for supported partners.
