how can use GDPR consent in the advertising networks such as AdMob, Vungle, Ironsource, and Applovin?

Question

The GDPR requires a legal basis for data processing. after using com.google.android.ads.consent:consent-library to show consent in the Android app, how can use GDPR consent in the advertising networks such as AdMob, Vungle, Ironsource, and Applovin?

Answer 1

to forward consent to the Google Mobile Ads SDK you can use this code

extras.putString("npa", "1");

AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
        .addNetworkExtrasBundle(AdMobAdapter.class, extras)
        .build();

in the IronSource If the user has opted out of “sale” of personal information

IronSource.setMetaData("do_not_sell","true");

If “sale” of personal information is permitted:

IronSource.setMetaData("do_not_sell","false");

in the Vungle, the following sample code sets the consent status to OPTED_IN Vungle.updateConsentStatus(Vungle.Consent.OPTED_IN, "1.0.0");

and this code sets the consent status to OPTED_OUT

Vungle.updateConsentStatus(Vungle.Consent.OPTED_OUT, "1.0.0");

AppLovin added the setHasUserContent and setIsAgeRestrictedUser methods. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the AppLovin SDK.

AppLovinPrivacySettings.setHasUserConsent(true, context);

if the user is known to be in an age-restricted category, you can also set the below flag to true.

AppLovinPrivacySettings.setIsAgeRestrictedUser(true, context);
