Floodlight still needs src, type, and cat. A leftover ord=1 counts once.
People still search for DART Floodlight tags. DART was DoubleClick's ad server. Campaign Manager 360 still serves the same activity on doubleclick.net . The request returns a GIF. The conversion still lands on the wrong activity, or it lands once. Floodlight is not a query string, and it is not a Conversions API with the host changed. The shape is semicolon pairs on the path:…
The DART Floodlight tags still require the src, type, and cat parameters to properly identify the activity. The ord=1 parameter is used for cache busting, not as a counter. If an empty or illegal value is present in any of the required fields, it will show up as a missing or missing twin. Server-to-server Floodlight is a separate feature in Campaign Manager, and it still requires src, type, and cat to be named correctly.
A leftover ord=1 on a standard counter tag can cause fires to collapse into one cached GET, resulting in an undercount. The activity count will not move. The path table is the Floodlight pack, and any missing, empty, or illegal values will result in a vendor.floodlight.param.src.missing, .type.missing, or .cat.missing error. Consent on the path is still a TC String, and gdpr_consent=1 needs a TC String with version 2 header.
Duplicate gdpr_consent parameters are a core.privacy.duplicate_signal. Floodlight on the same page as Google Consent Mode still requires a TC String on the tag, even if the page uses consent mode.
