Adfox generates monthly invoices with self-promotion statistics. Open one and click Submit to submit it.
You don't have to label ads of your products or services if the ads are distributed by advertisers, ad distributors, and ad system operators that send ad materials to specific email addresses or mailing lists.

For your direct sales advertised through Adfox, you must enable data transfer to the state register. For ad units placed in the Yandex Advertising Network, you don't need to transmit anything else: Yandex will do it for you.
Getting a token
A token is a unique ID of an ad (banner, video clip, or other ad type) that contains information about the end advertiser. The advertising data operator issues a token for each creative. All the ad-related data is assigned to the token. The token issued by the Yandex advertising data operator is added to the click link when the banner is served. Tokens issued by other advertising data operators may be placed on ads differently.
If the labeling via the Yandex advertising data operator is enabled in the banner settings (the option Submit data to state register), then when you save your banner in Adfox, the Yandex advertising data operator receives the data about the creative and generates a token. The token is assigned to the banner automatically.
The token is assigned when the banner is saved.
If you launch a campaign and add a banner through Adfox with the option Submit data to state register, then the token is issued and added to the click link automatically. No need to do anything else: the token is assigned and added to the banner by default.
We are currently revising the Adfox interface to reflect assignment of the token. Follow our updates.
You can only look up the token after you save the banner. To do this, open the parameters of the banner that you saved and find the token under Ad register.
No, you don't have to do that.
Placing a token on a banner
The token won't be shown on the banner, but you can copy it from the advertising menu (if enabled). To learn more, see Ad label and banner menu in Adfox banners.
You don't have to do this. The token is assigned to the banner automatically if submitting the data to the state register is enabled.
When a banner includes a token (you enabled labeling or provided a third-party token), it is appended to the click link's erid
parameter.
To add a token to a non-clickable banner, enable the Show banner menu option in the banner settings. When the banner is served, the menu icon will be displayed in its upper-right corner. When a user clicks this icon, the advertiser's details and a token link appear (if ad labeling is enabled for the banner or a third-party token is specified).
To learn more, see Ad label and banner menu in Adfox banners.
- Go to the banner settings.
- Select Do not submit data to state register in the Submission to ad register field.
- Under Advertising Label Settings, select Show banner menu and, in the Third-party token field, enter the token value from a third-party advertising data operator. The third-party token will be shown in the ad menu.
&erid=token
parameter for this?We recommend that you only add the token to the ad menu. To learn more, see Ad label and banner menu in Adfox banners.
Ad label and advertiser info
The Federal law On Advertising" requires that you specify the advertiser in your ad or give a link to a resource where you can learn more about the advertiser.
