Implementation

ImplementationAdding Data Processing Options

Browser Pixel

Update pixel initialization code to specify the dataProcessingOptions method before you call fbq('init').


To explicitly not enable Limited Data Use (LDU) mode, use:

fbq('dataProcessingOptions', []);
fbq('init', '{pixel_id}');
fbq('track', 'PageView');

To enable LDU mode using geolocation, use:

fbq('dataProcessingOptions', ['LDU'], 0, 0);

To enable LDU for users and specify user geography:

fbq('dataProcessingOptions', ['LDU'], 1, 1000);

Image tag

Add the following to the Pixel image tag:

  • dpo: data processing options
  • dpoco: data processing options country
  • dpost: data processing options state

See Reference for accepted values.


To explicitly not enable LDU mode, pass an empty value for the 'dpo' parameter:

<img src="https://www.facebook.com/tr?id={pixel_id}&ev=Purchase&dpo=LDU&dpoco=0&dpost=0" />
