Aniview Video Ad Player

HTML5 video ad player by Aniview that publishers embed to monetise content with VAST/VPAID creatives, header bidding and verification.

Overview

What does Aniview Video Ad Player do?

What Aniview is

Aniview is an Israeli video advertising technology vendor. Its HTML5 video player is embedded by publishers to monetise inventory with VAST and VPAID creatives. The player loads the Aniview ad server, header bidding modules and verification vendors (DoubleVerify, Integral Ad Science, Moat).

Cookies and data

The player writes a first party visitor cookie (av_uid) and loads multiple third party advertising and verification cookies. Each demand partner reads its own profile and may sync identifiers across publishers. The IAB TCF string is propagated to all loaded vendors.

GDPR and ePrivacy posture

All Aniview and partner cookies fall under Article 5(3) ePrivacy and require prior consent. Aniview is registered in IAB TCF v2.2 with vendor ID, so consent strings can be passed down the chain. Without consent, the player must not load any ad creatives.

Transfers and adequacy

Aniview Ltd. operates in Israel, which has GDPR adequacy. Most partner DSPs and verification vendors are US controllers. Sign Standard Contractual Clauses with each non adequate vendor, document a Transfer Impact Assessment and check DPF certification.

Implementation steps

Block the Aniview player before consent, integrate IAB TCF v2.2, sign DPA and SCCs with non adequate partners, list every advertising and verification cookie in the cookie register, run a DPIA and provide a non advertising fallback for users who refuse.
