Manage GDPR ad partners

Adding ad partners to published European regulations messages

You may need to add ad partners after you publish your consent message, either because you are adding an ad partner for which you had not initially requested consent, or because an ad partner was recently added to the IAB Global Vendor List (GVL) or Google ATP list and you now want to use them for their services.

In either case, when you add ad partners to published messages, you need to decide whether or not to ask users that have consented to the earlier set of ad partners to now consent again to the newly added ad partners.

Complete the following steps to add ad partners to your published European regulations messages:

1. Sign in to your AdMob account at https://admob.google.com .
2. Click Privacy & messaging.
3. Click  on the European regulations message type card.
4. In the "Review your ad partners" section, click.
5. Select ad partners in the "Your ad partners" list to add them to your consent messages. Choose from the following options:
   • Automatically include commonly used ad partners: We pre-populate the commonly used ad partners that help show ads on your app. You can add additional ad partners to your list and when Google updates the commonly used ad partners list, your pre-selected ad partners will automatically update.
   • Do not automatically include commonly used ad partners: Add the ad partners you want. Your list will not be automatically updated when Google updates the commonly used ad partners list.
     Note: You can select up to 700 ad partners. If you exceed this limit, the changes to your European regulations settings won’t save.
6. Click Confirm. Your changes are reflected in all messages published for the app.
7. Click Save. All European regulations messages shown to first-time visitors will use the updated settings.
8. In the dialog that appears, click Re-promptif you want to ask visitors who previously consented to make new selections based on the updated settings. If you choose not to re-prompt returning visitors, their previous selections will continue to be used.
