How Moloco validates Kochava tracking links

  • Updated

Tracking link basic 

Tracking links report user activity with your ad. The activity is reported via a click on your ad or a view.

When a user clicks on an attribution link the user is redirected to download the app. The click triggers a notification to Kochava's server.
