Delivery capping

Note: This article is for an old version of OpenX.

The latest OpenX documentation can be found at the following URLs:

You can place a cap (or limit) on the number of times a visitor sees a banner, campaign or zone. You can cap banners in two ways:

  • To cap the total number of times a visitor see a banner, enter the number in the Limit banner views to: total field.
  • To cap the number of times a visitor sees a banner in a single session, enter the number in the Limit banner views to: per session field.

OpenX records the number of views in cookies and you can reset the views total after a specified period by setting the period in the Reset view counters after: field. If a visitor has disabled cookies, capped banners will not be delivered to that viewer. If a visitor deletes existing cookies, capping information is reset to zero and the visitor will continue to see the banner until the limits are again reached.
