Manually installing the Pixel
If you prefer connecting to AdRoll manually, or if your specific platform is not listed above, follow the below instructions.
1. Locate the header code for your website.
Go to your website's code and find the header of your website.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<header>
<script>
<!-- Insert AdRoll Pixel Code -->
</script>
</header>
<main>
</main>
<footer>
</footer>
</body>
</html>2. Copy the entire pixel code and paste it in the global header.
Paste the code in the global header section, just above the closing header tag.
Important: You must replace the sample EID with your own unique pixel code before placing it on your site.
You can find your unique pixel code under the Audiences > Website > View Pixel.

- There is also no throttling in terms of request rate, but the expectation is that user events are generated by a human user so should be in the order of 1-2 requests per second. Please use track with that soft restriction in mind.
Additionally, web developers can install PixelPal to verify that your pixel is working properly. PixelPal is a Chrome extension that helps validate a website's AdRoll’s Pixel implementation.
- Install PixelPal in your Chrome browser by following the steps from the Chrome Web Store.
- Once installed, the extension’s icon will be available next to your address bar.
- Activate PixelPal by clicking the icon to review and confirm the End User License Agreement (EULA).
If your status says JS Pixel Detected, your code has been installed correctly. It can take up to 24 hours for your website to connect to AdRoll.
