How to modify AdMob SDK code to make it always show non-personalized ads only?

[Martin]

Hello,

I do not want to use the Consent SDK to ask users whether they want to see personalized or non-personalized ads. Instead I want to be even safer and show my own custom consent message and always show non-personalized ads only. I don't even want to give users the option to allow personalized ads. Only non-personalized ads should be shown in any case.

How exactly do I have to alter the AdMob SDK code in this case to make it show only non-personalized ads by default for everyone?

Which code changes exactly need to be made to the iOS AdMob SDK implementation to always show non-personalized ads only by default without using the Consent SDK?

Also is there any way to verify whether an app is really serving non-personalized only?

Thank you so much!

Hi Martin,

Thanks for reaching out to us. The default behavior of the Google Mobile Ads SDK is to serve personalized ads. If a user has consented to receive only non-personalized ads, you can configure an GADRequest object with this code to specify that only non-personalized ads should be returned.  You would have to just add the "npa" extra with a value of "1" to each ad request.

Let me know if you have any other questions on this.

Hi Deepika,

Thank you so much.

Can this "npa" setting and the value also be seen in Xcode's console and device logs when I connect a device to Xcode and open any app that uses AdMob?

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin,

Currently, the SDK does not provide any API to get this logged via Xcode. You would be able to notice the key being passed if you use a network tool like Charles Proxy but not via the SDK.
