The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") is a U.S. law that protects children’s online privacy.
COPPA applies to online service operators whose service, or a portion of the service, is directed to children under the age of 13 or who have actual knowledge that they collect information from children.
Any company that handles data, content, or advertising to children is subject to COPPA. These companies are subject to COPPA if they have actual knowledge that they are collecting information from users of another online service that is directed to children.
COPPA does not prohibit advertising to children. However, it does prohibit the collection of personal information (including cookies and other persistent identifiers) from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Contextual advertising, without collecting information from children under 13, is permissible under COPPA.

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
