How It Works

Prebid.js fans out one HTTP request per bidder [1] — each sees the user’s real IP, cookies, and page URL. Bids race `bidderTimeout` [2]: when it fires, the auction runs with whatever arrived. Winning bid’s targeting keys go to the ad server [3], which picks the creative and renders it [4].

Field Notes

  • `bidderTimeout` is a hard cutoff, but JS event-loop bids can slip in
  • Unresolved CMP (consent) cancels the auction, not just delays it
  • Unlike server {9}, browsers cap ~6 connections per origin
