What Is a Cloaker and Why Advertisers Use It to Bypass Ad Review

If you've been in the advertising industry long enough, especially running Facebook or Google ads for sensitive niches, you’ve likely heard the term "Cloaker."

But what exactly is a Cloaker, and why do advertisers rely on it so heavily?

1. Definition: What Is a Cloaker?

A Cloaker is a tool or system that filters and redirects traffic based on visitor characteristics (like IP address, user agent, referer) to show different pages to different users.

  • Bots (reviewers, crawlers) → Whitepage

  • Real users → Offer or "gray" page

  • Competitors → Blocked or error page

2. Why Is a Cloaker Used?

Cloakers are typically used to:

  • Bypass ad platform policies (e.g. for restricted products)

  • Protect landing pages from spying or stealing

  • Control traffic quality and conversions

  • Avoid unnecessary disapprovals or bans

3. How Does It Work?

A Cloaker analyzes each visit request based on:

FactorPurpose
IP addressIdentifies if it’s a platform crawler
User AgentChecks for browser vs bot
Language / ReferrerTraces traffic origin
BehaviorTracks scroll/click patterns for filtering

Based on this logic, the system serves the appropriate page.

A Cloaker isn’t just a trick — it’s a legitimate strategic layer for ad campaigns, especially when facing strict review systems.

Used wisely, it becomes your ad shield, enabling more test freedom, better compliance management, and higher conversion success.
