Hi, I noticed that the GDPR is causing a lot of questions, and I, as an unity coder would want to ask (and receive a clear answer) how to implement Consent SDK of AdMob into Unity or, failing that, how to take user content to personalized/non-personalized ads, how to verify if the user is affected by the GDPR in order to show the dialog, etc etc. In summary: how to accomplish the new policy in UNITY PLATFORM, as Google is giving confusing and incomplete information.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

For Unity apps showing ads, there is consent SDK support planned however it will not be available for the deadline of May 25th. 

For Unity developers, we recommend implementing your own consent collection and using the "npa" extra (as per the guide documentation) to pass to the SDK whether to show Non-Personalized ads.

This would be done as follows:
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
       
.AddExtra("npa", "1")
       
.Build();
Sending a value of  "1" will serve non-personalized ads (after May 25th deadline).  Sending a value of 0 (or not sending a value), will serve personalized ads.

Regards,

Sam

Ok, thank you, actually the admob plugin for unity still not released yet; any tips about  about filtering customer form UE and apply .AddExtra("npa", "1"), that are with country code in the set "BE", "EL", "LT", "PT", "BG", "ES", "LU", "RO", "CZ", "FR", "HU", "SI", "DK", "HR", "MT", "SK", "DE", "IT", "NL", "FI", "EE", "CY", "AT", "SE", "IE", "LV", "PL", "UK", "CH", "NO", "IS", "LI" in ISO 3166-1 alpha 2, from costumers in other country ? 
Thank you

Hi,

I'm not aware of any specific way to determine the customer location for these purposes, sorry. You could review this Unity forum discussion for some possible ideas.

Regards

Sam

Grabbing a user's precise local is another privacy issue that must be disclosed in your Privacy Policy, 
it must also be confirmed and disclosed to EU user, I believe.

Hello,

Have there been any updates to announce support for the Consent SDK in Unity?

Hi,

There haven't been any updates no. We are still planning to release a Unity SDK, but the timeframe is not yet available.

For now we recommend passing the "npa" extra as documented in this thread if you wish to show non-personalized ads.

Regards

Sam

I do not get consent. I disabled personalized ads completely until Unity sdk properly supports consent sdk.

Look this link:
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/eu-consent
I add a picture also showing that.

For NPA you need also consent...
For now, I disable Mediation, but i don't know also if this is enough XD
