43 PUBLISHER CONTROL & PRIVATE EXCHANGE
Publisher Control Publishers may choose to mask some of the inventory information (URL, channel, etc.) sent to RTB to prevent data harvesting 44
Private Exchange Private Exchange is a set of granular supply & demand side controls that allow the trading of biddable media in a transparent and collaborative environment. Publishers are able to expose their inventory to preferred sources of Demand while retaining strict control over Buyer Priorities, Transparency, Quality and Yield. Advertisers are able to access premium, brand safe supply with insight into the Source and Buying Terms of the transaction. Allows premium publishers to engage with demand sources with full control transparency, pricing and buying terms More premium inventory available for programmatic / RTB buying 45
