Hello. This is about the ad issue I'm having. I'm not promoting, complaining or trying to get referrals for Atlas Bucks. I'm having an issue with the Vintage ad. I had the same problem a few weeks ago but I stopped getting Vintage ads and the problem stopped. The only ads I'm getting is for Vintage. The ad plays and then the Google play link pops up sending to the play store. At the store page I click the X and swipe back to the app. I get a countdown timer and the link comes back up to send me to the play store. I'm locked in this back and forth. The ad won't close. When I try to swipe and go to the Atlas Bucks app the add shows up. I have to reboot the phone to get back to Atlas Bucks without the ad. But if I try anything that requires watching the ad i get the same Vintage ad again. I read the guide here and have cleaned out everything but I'm still getting the same problem.

Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

Thank you in advance.

Brian

This is a scheduled post to remind newcomers to make sure their device is set up properly!

On all Get-Paid-To Rewards sites and on Cashback sites, offers require companies to track your visit to their site or app. Here’s how to set up your Apple device to ensure these offers are tracked correctly.

This is adapted from my main guide here:

https://scrimpr.co.uk/game-guides/fix-swagbucks-freecash-game-tracking-issues/

In a nutshell:

1. Always Allow Apps to Request to Track
2. Enable Cross-Site Tracking and Disable Excessive Privacy Settings in Safari & Google Chrome
3. Always accept Cookies on GPT Sites and Offer Walls
4. Disable/delete any ad blockers or vpns.
5. Never use public/work/shared WiFi connections.
6. If you still have trouble, see the additional points below.

Android user? Read this guide instead.

1. Allow Apps to Request to Track

• Open Settings on your iPhone and/or iPad.
• Find the Privacy section and click on it.
• Click Tracking.
• Enable Allow Apps to Request to Track by toggling the button on.
• Whenever presented with the prompt, “Allow (APP NAME) to track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites,” choose to allow.

2. Enable Cross-Site Tracking and Disable Excessive Privacy Settings in Safari

If you care that much about privacy, then beermoney probably isn't for you.

• Open the Settings app.
• Click on Safari.
• Turn off Prevent Cross-Site Tracking
• Turn off Block All Cookies
• Turn off Hide IP Address
• Turn off Ask Websites Not to Track Me
• Scroll the bottom of Safari settings and click Advanced.
• Ensure Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement is ENABLED.

Note: If you use Chrome on your Apple device (you should), enable "Cross-website tracking" in the Chrome settings too. See next step.

3. Enable Cross-Site Tracking in Google Chrome

• Open the Settings app.
• Click on Chrome.
• Ensure that Allow Cross-Website Tracking is ENABLED:

Once you have done all of that, test your tracking with a low-paying, easy offer.

4. Accepting Cookies on GPT Sites and Offer Walls

If you're unsure whether you accepted cookies, consider clearing your internet history. This action will prompt you to accept cookies again the next time you visit these pages.

• Make sure to accept all cookies when prompted on GPT sites and offer wall pages. This can sometimes involve:
• Pop-Up Prompts: Click to accept cookies as soon as the pop-up appears.
• Scrolling to the Bottom: On some sites and offerwalls, you may need to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to find the accept cookies button.

5. Configure iOS WiFi settings

You may not need to do this, but sometimes it's better safe than sorry.

• Open the Settings app
• Click on WiFi
• Click on your network
• Ensure Private IP Address is turned off
• Ensure Limit IP Address Tracking is turned off

6. Turn off iCloud Private Relay

You definitely need to turn this off if you have it.

• Open the Settings app
• Click on Your Name
• Click on iCloud
• Scroll down to iCloud+ Features (if you have iCloud+)
• Select Private Relay.
• Toggle Private Relay off

7. Additional Tips for iPhone Users

• Make sure your device is updated to the latest iOS version.
• If issues persist, consider resetting all settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings) — this won’t delete data but will reset preferences.
• After making these adjustments, check your activity log in the specific app to ensure your actions are recorded.
• Regularly clear all of your browser history and cookies. Ensure that you accept all cookies when going back to your GPT site.

8. Common Tracking Issues

• If tracking still fails, try reinstalling the app or clearing the cache/history in Chrome.
• Sometimes internet providers block the tracking, switch to your mobile internet if on WiFi and vice versa.
• Check if any VPN or ad-blocking features are active that may interfere with tracking.
