OpenRTB 2.2
What this release is
OpenRTB 2.2 is where private marketplaces became first-class: expanded deal handling under imp.pmp, plus imp.secure for HTTPS inventory signaling and regs.coppa for child-directed traffic. It also sketched a feedback path for suspected bot traffic, an early acknowledgment that the bid stream needed quality signals.
