Special ad categories apply to ads about credit, employment, housing, and social issues or politics. They come with targeting restrictions.
Special ad category explained
Advertisers in these categories must declare them. Targeting options like age and detailed interests are limited to prevent discrimination.
Example
A mortgage lender declares the credit category when creating a campaign.
