It is possible to detect a click on an ad loaded via iframe?

Having ads loaded via iframe, it is possible to detect a click with the left mouse button? A normal click?

I thought of another question, I saw a code that worked for me but it is not secure, since it monitors the activeElement, and has a flaw in it, if the user clicks with the right mouse button, the function triggers TRUE and triggers the alert.

capture click on div surrounding an iframe

If the advertisement is located on a different domain it is impossible because of security.

What you could attempt to do however, is to have a transparent element over the advertisement and detect the click there.

Then you would hide the element, and wait for the user to click a second time shrugging off the first click. If the user is actually interested in clicking the banner they will click a second time (when your transparent invisible element is gone).

Update

Have a look at this: HTML "overlay" which allows clicks to fall through to elements behind it

Apparently you can allow click through with pointer-events css.
