A success portal earns its login when clients can finish a job: see current work, upload evidence, or approve a milestone. A public status page is a different product.
A portal file room needs object-level permissions, virus-untrusted uploads, and expiry. A shared Drive folder is not a document room.
Meta requires a recognized license and written permission, via Meta Business Suite, to promote crypto exchanges, trading, lending, and wallets that buy, sell, swap, or stake. News, tax, and storage-only wallets are documented exceptions.
Measure page views and form starts without loading analytics by default. Consent Mode v2, one loader, and named events beat a tag soup — from Google’s own consent guidance.
Paid clicks inherit the page. Destination policy, AdsBot, Better Ads, and ordinary usability all hit the same URL. A pre-flight that is cheaper than a week of wasted Search or Meta spend.
A conversion is an event you defined, fired after a real action, under a consent state the tag is allowed to use. Consent Mode v2 and the EU user consent policy sit on top of Google Ads conversion tracking.
Google’s 2026 crypto ads rules: education and mining hardware can run without certification; exchanges and wallets need licenses plus Google certification in approved countries; ICOs, DeFi, unhosted wallets, and affiliate aggregators stay banned.
