A social networking system associates identification information with combinations of values used to generate a dynamically-created advertisement. Interactions with the dynamically-created advertisement by social networking system users are also associated with the dynamically-created advertisement. The social networking system uses the identification information to present the same combination of values used to generate the dynamically-created advertisement to additional social networking system users. Additionally, information describing interactions with the dynamically-created advertisement is determined from the interactions associated with the identification information, allowing the dynamically-created advertisement to be included in a personalized feed of content items presented to an additional user along with information describing interactions by various users presented with the same combination of values of components in the dynamically-created advertisement.

Presenting content items associated with dynamically-created advertisements to users of a social networking system

An advertisement (ad) proxy server acts as a proxy for serving content of third-party ads to users of an online system, reducing data leakage from users to advertisers. The ad proxy server acts as an intermediate storage and access point for content included in advertisement, such as images and videos. When an advertisement from an advertiser is selected for presentation by the online system, an ad tag identifying the location of the content for the selected ad is retrieved and used to retrieve a copy of the advertisement content. The ad proxy server stores the copy of the advertisement content and generates a modified ad tag identifying the ad proxy server. The modified ad tag is sent to a client device, which retrieves the copy of the advertisement content from the ad proxy server rather than directly from the advertiser.
