Requesting Consent from European Users

According to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you must make certain disclosures to your users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and obtain their consent to use cookies or other local storage, where legally required, and to use personal data (such as Advertising ID and IP address) to serve ads.

One option is to use the Consent SDK to present a Google-rendered consent form to your users. In this case, you must add the following dependencies

• • Add the following to the project build.gradle file inside the repositories section:

    maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
    

  • Add to your app build.gradle file the following under dependencies section:

    dependencies {
        implementation 'com.google.android.ads.consent:consent-library:1.0.4'
    }

Also, you may forward consent to SDK manually (please, see an example below):

rewardedVideo.loadAd(UNIT_ID_REWARDED_VIDEO, new AdRequest.Builder()
                .addNetworkExtrasBundle(YouAppiRewardedVideo.class, bundleWithConsent()).build());

interstitialVideo.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder()
                .addCustomEventExtrasBundle(YouAppiInterstitialVideo.class, bundleWithConsent()).build());

interstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder()
                .addCustomEventExtrasBundle(YouAppiInterstitialAd.class, bundleWithConsent()).build());

 private Bundle bundleWithConsent() {
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putBoolean("consent", true);
    return bundle;
  }
