UMP

[SnailRabbids]

Do I need to do anything after asking for user consent? I mean, if the user selects "Do not consent", can I show them ads or not? As I uderstand if the user doesn't agree, the ads just won't be personalized, but I don't need to change my code because of that, right?

So my steps are: initialize the plugin -> ask for his consent -> here I don't care what the user chose, I can show my ads with show_banner() etc.

Thanks :)

@gumaciel is it ok, that I can request user consent few times?
click on "REQUEST USER CONSENT" -> shows GDPR window -> accept/decline/close -> click again -> shows again -> ...
Is there a way to check if user consent has been shown? Or it means, that Consent Status is still "Required" for some reason?
I also noticed that there is always a "Request Consent from European Users Form dismissed" even if I click "Consent":(

Hi @SnailRabbids , answering your questions:

I mean, if the user selects "Do not consent", can I show them ads or not

Ads will still appear, you may not be able to see them as Google has no ads available for you at the moment.

Note that when you mark that you do not consent to show personalized ads, the amount of available ads is reduced, when you are testing unfortunately it is common not to appear, because from what I understand Google does not provide "Non-customized" ads for testing, which I I believe it is their mistake.

As I uderstand if the user doesn't agree, the ads just won't be personalized, but I don't need to change my code because of that, right?

Yes, you are right, you don't need to change your code

So my steps are: initialize the plugin -> ask for his consent -> here I don't care what the user chose, I can show my ads with show_banner() etc.

That's correct

is it ok, that I can request user consent few times?

Yes, even the "reset user consent" option has been added to do this: #57

Is there a way to check if user consent has been shown?

If you press "REQUEST USER CONSENT", you will notice that you will receive a message: "User consent obtained", that means that the consent form was shown for the user and he accepted OR not (there is no way to know if he fact accepted or denied, only if it was obtained)

Or it means, that Consent Status is still "Required" for some reason?

I didn't understand it very well, but I don't think so, as I see it, the Status is usually just for the developer to get feedback from the user iteration

Note that UMP is not mandatory in all countries.

Under the Google EU User Consent Policy, you must make certain disclosures to your users in the European Economic Area (EEA) along with the UK and obtain their consent to use cookies or other local storage, where legally required, and to use personal data (such as AdID) to serve ads. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

I also noticed that there is always a "Request Consent from European Users Form dismissed" even if I click "Consent":(

If the form is appearing and then disappears, then it is correct for me. This message refers to the form was dismissed

Sorry but i can't do it right now, seems like Google is with problem on their servers:

[SnailRabbids]

@gumaciel are you sure you have enabled your GDPR on admob.com? I had same error when it was disabled.

[SnailRabbids]

because form appears for me right now. With this bug, but appears ...

[SnailRabbids]

and one more thing, I'm not 100% sure, but yesterday this button worked as expected. Mb google servers are broken for real. I think we could wait for 1-2 days and try again?

[gumaciel]

Yes, of course, this weekend i won't be able to work on the Plugin, until this i invite you to join on our Discord server, if you have it: https://discord.gg/YEPvYjSSMk

[SnailRabbids]

Hello @gumaciel , just try to implement UMP cause now it a NEED from admob.

It's seem the current version of plugin work well but I do face some issues which I don't know is it a normal behavior or an error.

No matter what I choose, I only get this message: "User consent obtained. Personalization not defined."

If I choose "Manage options" -> "Confirm choices". Then there will be no ads at all. It's like you explained above. Maybe non-personalize ad not work with test ads. But the problem is, when I try to show a reward ads. There is no error or anything happen. So it's no way to let user know that they need to re-config the consent in setting.

Do you have any experience on this? Thank you in advanced.

[kyoz]

Oh, I just tested it on iOS. when user choose not consent. When trying to show reward ads. It will throw rewarded_ad_failed_to_show. But only on iOS, on Android it will do nothing.

[gumaciel]

Usually when the user doesn't consent, test ads don't show up, but real ads should show up

On Android it should also throw this error, could you please create an Issue of this bug with the description in the repository?
