User Sync and User ID Module

The Start.io User ID submodule generates and persists a unique user identifier by fetching it from a Start.io-managed endpoint. The ID is stored in both cookies and local storage for subsequent page loads and is made available to other Prebid.js modules via the standard eids interface.

To enable iframe-based user syncing and the Start.io User ID module, include the following configuration:

pbjs.setConfig({
    userSync: {
        userIds: [{
            name: 'startioId',
            storage: {
                type: 'cookie&html5',
                name: 'startioId',
                expires: 90
            }
        }],
        filterSettings: {
            iframe: {
                bidders: ['startio'],
                filter: 'include'
            }
        }
    }
});

• Ensure that the publisherId parameter is set correctly for your integration.
• Test ads can be enabled using testAdsEnabled: true during development.
