These are the constants that are used or can be used with Advanced Ads. Most of these constants can just be defined in your site’s wp-config.php file with a single line like this:
define( 'ADVANCED_ADS_PRO_REFERRER_EXDAYS', 0 );
If one of the following Advanced Ads constants is enabled on your website, you will see the notice Advanced Ads related constants enabled_ in your backend.
