You can combine different audiences together, however it's important to note that too many audience overlays can result in limited reach.
It's important to always check the reach estimator to understand what you're scaling ability is like when overlaying audience targeting to your campaigns.
Note: Custom Audiences in Taboola are now automatically archived after 90 days of inactivity (previously 60 days) to reduce system load, but if you’ve set a lookback window longer than 90 days, the audience will remain active until that period ends. This gives you more flexibility to reuse dormant audiences in future campaigns.
