Compliance Checks

What it detects

Some traffic sources violate partner agreements, legal requirements, or brand safety standards — for example, traffic from adult sites, gambling domains, or illegal streaming platforms. The Compliance Checks filter scans the referrer URL of each request and rejects traffic from domains that match blocked content categories or keyword patterns.

How it works

Integr8 evaluates the referrer domain on each incoming request using two methods:

  1. AI-powered category classification: An automated crawler analyzes domain content and assigns it to categories (adult, fraud, drugs, hate speech, P2P/streaming). Traffic from domains in your blocked categories is rejected.

  2. Keyword matching: You define keywords that, when found in the referrer URL, trigger a rejection. Partial matches apply — adding casino blocks free-casino-games.net.

Both methods can be used simultaneously.

Configuration

Navigate to Fraud Prevention > Traffic Quality > Compliance Checks to configure.

Block by referrer category

CategoryDescription
FraudDomains associated with known fraud operations
DrugsPharmaceutical or drug-related content
P2P/StreamingTorrent sites and unauthorized streaming platforms
Hate SpeechDomains with discriminatory or extremist content
AdultAdult content sites

Enable any category to block all traffic from domains classified in that category.

Block by keyword

Add keywords to match against referrer URLs. Each match rejects the click with fraud_reason: compliance_checks. Up to 100 keywords can be added directly.

Example: Adding torrent blocks traffic from https://mytorrentdomain.com.

Block using keyword groups

For large-scale campaigns or multiple geos, use keyword groups:

  • Each group holds up to 10,000 keywords (one per line, TXT upload supported)
  • Up to 10 groups can be active simultaneously
  • Groups are managed centrally and can be reused across filter groups

What happens when triggered

When a request’s referrer matches a blocked category or keyword:

  • The request is rejected with fraud_reason: compliance_checks.
  • No attribution is recorded.
  • The event is logged in Reports > Click Reports.
  • Keyword Filter — blocks traffic based on the &keyword= search parameter, not the referrer
  • ISP Filter — blocks traffic from specific ISPs regardless of referrer
