GDPR + Disable Personlised Ads. no banner needed?

Or is a cookie banner still needed?

[bhw1066]

I seem to be having to go around the houses to get compliant with Adsense. I do EXACTLY what they ask and that still isn't good enough.

It sounds to me if I disable personalised ads, it will reduce income, but also a headache.

What banner would I still need to show? A simple cookie banner with an 'ok' button?

With non personalized ads, you still need a "cookie" banner, with "accept" and "refuse" buttons, you must not display ads until a choice is made, and of course, if cookies are refused, you must not show Adsense's ads (or other ads which are producing cookies).

In theory, accepting or refusing cookies must be presented on the same level , and without design tricks encouraging to accept. In practice, there is still lot of sites making it harder to refuse than to accept, but in a near future it might be enforced more strictly.

Thanks for the reply.

I got an email from Google and all it said was that my website wasn't compliant - only mentioning the wording. so I did everything they asked for, and that's not good enough.

I then tried to use consentmanager and the help/support have given up, I think lol.

It's now at the point where I'm so stressed/depressed, that I'm thinking of just removing ads from the 2 sites, as it seems that there's nobody alive on Planet Earth who actually knows what I'm doing wrong - Google won't even tell me what I need to change.

Surely, if I select non-personalised, it'll be easier to comply? It's a labyrinth, with no way out.

Thank you Niesh12495 but i still do not understand.

Google adsense has decided to integrate the CCPA consent notice into an Adsense account a couple week a go, but it is not yet an EU consent notice integrated. I don't understand why, if they offer through the [fundingchoices.google.com...] option to integrate both?

But well, I don’t use Admanager to be able to integrate EU consent notice. Now my question is whether I can log in to Admanager just to use and integrate the EU consent notice, and at the same time keep the Adsense account by integrating the code on the website or if you log in to Admanager then everything should go through it. And new code and consent notice etc...

Namely, I am asking this since I also received a same warning (wording chose is not good) that I have to resolve by July 28, 2021 (only via email. There is no policy warning within Adsense account), so now I am listening and looking at possible solutions.

So now my idea is to use only consent notice for EU via Admanager [admanager.google.com...] since it has not yet integrated Adsense account and my question is whether I can only open/log Admanager in to integrate EU consent notice and for all other thing just use Adsense account as usually.

Thanks

btw

Im using 'Non personalized Ads for EU'. It does not matter. And it seems to me that Adsense and the policy team are two separate division that have not yet integrated everything together 100%, because if you get a warning via email and within the Adsense account there is no warning with policy warning then something is not quite ideal.
