Question 1

Filter by

Accepted Answer

Most of the filters are self-explanatory. That being said, some of them are specific in a way:

Filter's name

Filter specifics

Proxy type

This filter has the following types:

Anonymous Proxy protects the user's personal information by hiding identifying information about the client's computer.

Transparent Proxy does not hide identifying information about the client's computer (other than what is required for authentication and identification).

Hosting Proxy displays the IP addresses of users on the internal network.

Subs

The sub-value you want to put inside the filter should be the same as you received from your traffic source with the click. If several values under the same sub are to be used, put them in the same field separated by a comma:

Important!
If you want to filter a click with an empty sub value, you should put {null} instead the sub value when applying the filter by Sub:

Unique path

This filter ensures that returning users are redirected through specific paths within a campaign, based on their visit history. This is particularly useful in cases where multiple offers are available in a campaign funnel (e.g., to avoid showing the same offer multiple times, or to ensure consistency).

The \"Unique path\" filter can work in two modes:

– Using it with the \"Exclude\" type ensures that users are shown a different path (offer) each time they visit.
– Using it with the \"Include\" type ensures that users are consistently shown the same path (offer) they saw on their first visit.

How it works:

Using this filter with “Exclude” type:
1. User clicks an ad → lands on Offer 1.
2. On the next visit, the same user is redirected to a different offer (e.g., Offer 2).
3. On the third visit → Offer 3.
4. After all paths are used, the stats are reset and the cycle starts again.

Using this filter with “Include” type:
1. User clicks an ad → lands on Offer 1.
2. On subsequent visits, the user is always redirected to Offer 1, as long as they’re identified as the same user.
3. Once the tracking window expires or data is reset, they may be sent to a new offer.

How users are identified:
RT tracks users based on a combination of their IP address + User Agent (UA) (which includes device and browser details).

If both IP and UA remain the same, the system recognizes the user and applies the filter.

If either the IP or UA changes (e.g., the user switches to another device or network), they will be treated as a new user and may see the same offers again.

Retention window:
User path history is stored for 7 days.
After all paths are visited, or the 7-day window expires, the stats are reset, and path assignment starts from the beginning.

Question 2

Type

Accepted Answer

Include vs Exclude

Include type means that the page will be available for a certain group of people only.
All the conditions should be met for the click to be sent to this funnel.

Example

Your filters are:
Filter by countries → Include → Germany
Filter by OS → Include → Windows

Result:
Your funnel will be shown only for people from Germany with Windows OS, non-matching clicks from Germany and MacOS will be redirected to another funnel or the default fallback URL (make sure you set it up).

Exclude type means that your offer will be shown for everyone except those values in the filters.
Only one of the conditions can be met for the filter to be triggered.

If there are 2 or more conditions set, all of them should be met.
No matter if it is the \"Include\" or \"Exclude\" condition.

Example
Considering the click is coming from the US in all the cases below

Include: US
Exclude: sub1 - 123
https://domain.com/67dbdac1f9cbc639f88?sub1=123 - blocked/fallback
https://domain.com/67dbdac1f9cbc639f88?sub1=245 - accepted

Exclude: US
Exclude: sub1 - 123
https://domain.com/67dbdac1f9cbc639f88?sub1=245 - blocked/fallback
https://domain.com/67dbdac1f9cbc639f88?sub1=123 - blocked/fallback

Include: US
Include: sub1 - 123
https://domain.com/67dbdac1f9cbc639f88?sub1=123 - accepted
https://domain.com/67dbdac1f9cbc639f88?sub1=245 - blocked/fallback

Contains vs No contains

Contains and No contains filter types work the same way as Include/Exclude but for partial matching.

Example

If your filter is Subs → Set contains 12345, but the Subs data will have 123456 upon the click, the system will count this click with 123456 as matching the filter.
