Device Targeting With Platform-level Keys device-targeting-with-platform-level-keys

WARNING
Google has updated the functionality of Google Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers to minimize the information collected via the User-Agent header.
Starting with March 2023, Audience Manager supports these updates by leveraging Experience Platform Web SDK. To continue using trait information provided via the User-Agent header, you must use Web SDK and enable High Entropy User-Agent Client Hints.
These updates are not supported by DIL, so Audience Manager customers who use DIL will not be able to collect trait information via the User-Agent header.

Describes the common platform-level key-value pairs you can use to target users with device-related variables across all properties in your Audience Manager account.

Purpose of Platform-level Variables platform-variables

Platform-level variables let you take data passed in from a particular site and make it available for targeting across all the properties in your Audience Manager account. These variables are formed by key-value pairs with the key prefixed by d_ as shown below.

Platform-level Keys Defined by User Agent keys-user-agent

The Data Collection Servers extract the values for these keys from the user agent header in HTTP requests. The values represent device-level information from the Device Atlas database. The signals in the table below are available, as extracted from the user agent example. Download a list of the most common keys, according to Device Atlas measurements.
