Media Interview Questions
VAST, or “Video Ad Serving Template,” is a script that gives video players information about which ad to play, how the ad should show up, how long it should last, and whether users are able to skip it.
VPAID (“Video Player Ad-Serving Interface Definition”) is just code that runs within video players.

IDFA is the abbreviation for identifier for advertisers on iPhones. An IDFA is somewhat analogous to an advertising cookie, in that it enables an advertiser to understand that a user of a phone has taken an action like a click or an app install. That is called ad tracking. IDFAs take the place of cookies in mobile advertising delivered to iOS devices because cookies are problematic in the mobile world.
Advertisers are naturally interested in understanding the anonymized individuals that take advertising actions. IDFAs (and their Android siblings, Android Advertising IDs) help an advertiser identify the specific phone where the ad action takes place.
UDID: Before IDFA, advertisers could track actions on iPhones using a permanent device identifier called UDID, or universal device ID

Sometimes companies with multiple apps base their marketing efforts and analyses on IDFV, because they only change if a user uninstalls all apps from a particular vendor.
