      • If there is one clickTag, add it to the <body> TAG as follows:
        <body onclick="window.open(olBanner.getClickTag(), '_blank')"></body>
        In the case of several different clickTags, add them to the various elements as follows:
        <div onclick="window.open(olBanner.getClickTag('CUSTOM_URL_1'), '_blank')"></div><div onclick="window.open(olBanner.getClickTag('CUSTOM_URL_2'), '_blank')"></div>
    5. Tracking pixels and codes can be added inside the HTML advertisements. Keep in mind that the tracking code is activated later (after the advertisement is displayed), which means that the statistics of views might differ.
