Upcoming changes to the commonly used set of ad technology partners
Starting on or after April 20, 2026, Google Ad Manager will experiment with an updated set of commonly used ad technology partners . If this experiment is deemed beneficial for publishers, the list will be updated on or after June 5, 2026. This update will reflect the partners that meet our privacy standards and work most closely with publishers globally (determined by data collected from all programmatic demand sources).
To view the list of current ad technology partners (and those in the experiment once it starts), and manage the controls in your account:
- Click Privacy & messaging.
- On the European regulations card, click
.
- Under "Settings," locate the "Review your ad partners" section.
- Click
.
- Make a selection:
- Automatically include commonly used ad partners: Select this option to allow automatic updates.
- Do not automatically include commonly used ad partners: Select this option to prevent automatic updates and opt out of the experiment. This option will create a custom list pre-filled with your current selections, which you can then modify as needed.
Note that if you're using a third-party CMP to collect GDPR consent, your list of ad tech partners is managed through your CMP provider.
