Manage Floodlight activity status

Floodlight activity status types

Active Indicates the Floodlight activity is active and is serving.
Disabled & archived

Indicates you have chosen to stop the Floodlight activity from serving. Both the Floodlight activity and its alerts will be hidden by default.

This prevents Floodlight from counting conversions, including that conversion data in reports, and creating remarketing lists. Remember to remove disabled Floodlight tags from the advertiser's website.

Disabled - Policy violation Indicates the Floodlight activity is violating Google policy and therefore is disabled. Contact your account manager for more information.
