All other 3rd party vendors are not allowed due to performance and security considerations.

*There may be exceptions where we will look at vendors on a Case by case basis, however please note that this requires an extra 5 day's lead time for QA. It's also important to take into account that for untested and unapproved third parties, the validity of a third parties stats cannot be guaranteed.
Please contact us here at Ad technology via the link here if you wish to go through a Third Party that's not listed, for more information and to check on the possibility of running a trial campaign for the nominated unapproved Vendor.
