Category taxonomies value 6 means IAB Tech Lab Content Taxonomy 2.2

Content Taxonomy 2.2, the newest 2.x version in this list.

List: Category TaxonomiesValue 6

When to send it

Value 6 selects Content Taxonomy 2.2. Sellers whose contextual classifiers output 2.2 IDs send it in the content-side cattax fields, and buyers use the IDs for contextual targeting and brand safety rules.

It is confused with 5 (Content Taxonomy 2.1) and with 7 (Content Taxonomy 3.0). A buyer that maps 3.0 IDs should not assume a 2.2 ID means the same thing; compare the two files before reusing a mapping. When you upgrade a classifier, change the cattax value in the same release.

Example

{
  "app": {
    "cattax": 6
  }
}
