GDPR Message in Android Studio | GDPR Consent for Admob | Admob GDPR Consent | GDPR Compliance
69Hello friends,
Recently I added the GDPR consent dialog to many of my apps so thought that I should share my experience on my channel too.

For apps in Google's Play Designed for Families program with mixed audiences or only children as users, my understanding of the GDPR consent form is that you shouldn't show the consent dialog to children so do we even need to integrate Google's UMP in our code?
I queried the Admob Forum about this issue and their recommendation was to still integrate Google's UMP in code but while building the consent information params object, tag it as under the age of consent =true for 100% compliance.
In case of an app that has a mixed audience (children and adults), you can optionally show a neutral age screen and in case the app's user is a child, you build the consent information params object with under the age of consent =true, and in other cases, you make it false.
So, my code for my phonics fun app actually has the tag for under the age of consent =true but I didn't show it in this video as I didn't want to confuse the users with too much information (TMI) 😊
For child-directed apps:
/*************************************************************/
// Create a ConsentRequestParameters object.
ConsentRequestParameters params = new ConsentRequestParameters
.Builder()
.setTagForUnderAgeOfConsent(true)
.build();
/*************************************************************/
I also use the following requestConfiguration for my Mobile Ads. This I set before calling showConsentForm():
/************REQUEST CONFIGURATION for MOBILE ADS*****************/
RequestConfiguration requestConfiguration = MobileAds.getRequestConfiguration()
.toBuilder()
.setTagForChildDirectedTreatment(
RequestConfiguration.TAG_FOR_CHILD_DIRECTED_TREATMENT_TRUE)
.setTagForUnderAgeOfConsent(RequestConfiguration.TAG_FOR_UNDER_AGE_OF_CONSENT_TRUE)
.setMaxAdContentRating(RequestConfiguration.MAX_AD_CONTENT_RATING_G)
.build();
MobileAds.setRequestConfiguration(requestConfiguration);
/*************************************************************/
You also need to declare that your app uses ADVERTISING_ID in App Content in Play Console. However, don't say that the ID is used for advertising (which is the truth as ADVERTISING_ID isn't shared for children's apps) ; choose the option Fraud prevention.
Hope that helps :)
