Question: Partner A set their ownership of a web asset in U.S. and Canada, and Partner B set their ownership of the same asset in U.S. and Mexico. Partner A has a match policy of Track worldwide. Partner B has a match policy of Block worldwide. What is the result?
- Block in U.S., Canada, and Mexico
- Track in U.S., Canada, and Mexico
- Track in Canada, Block in U.S. and Mexico
- Track in U.S. and Canada, Block in Mexico
Explanation
YouTube applies each partner’s match policy only in that partner’s valid ownership territories. In Canada, only Partner A owns the asset, so the Track policy applies. In Mexico, only Partner B owns the asset, so the Block policy applies. In the U.S., both partners claim ownership, and the more restrictive active policy controls, so Block applies there.
Why the other options are incorrect
Block in U.S., Canada, and Mexico is incorrect because Partner B does not own the asset in Canada.
Track in U.S., Canada, and Mexico is incorrect because Partner B owns Mexico and has a Block policy.
Track in U.S. and Canada, Block in Mexico is incorrect because the U.S. has overlapping ownership and the more restrictive policy applies.
