Hi,
Google team is gently insisting me (through links in the monthly reports, alerts in the Google Adsense dashboard) to "manage the user consent". The suggested link is [
support.google.com...]
Currently, I do not have any policy issue affecting ad serving in my website. In 2016, I created a very simple home-made message/alert (through PHP+JavaScript) to make users accept the cookies, linking to a specific webpage with the Privacy Policy, with a home-made wording claiming that I do not collect any personal information in the website (it's true), and that the ads are served by Google, linking to the Google's ad privacy webpage (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads). So far, it seems that Google has not opposed to this.
My website is *not* WordPress-made, and most of my users comes from the United States, mainly California. And, obviously, I receive some visits from the EU.
However, I've seen in this forum (https://www.webmasterworld.com/google_adsense/5038555.htm) that some people received policy warnings dealing with wording of the alerts, and I'm concerned about the possibility that Google warns me too.
My questions:
- Should I stop my home-made cookies alert system, and substitute it with the proposed by Google (within the 'Privacy & messaging' section of Adsense)?
- Is this system proposed by Google an alternative to the free consent management platform of 'Quantcast Choice'? Should I use the solution by Quantcast?
- Should I implement the GDPR messaging (for the European Union), as well as the CCPA (California) and the LGPD (Brazil)?
- Is my homemade alert preventing customized ads from displaying? If I allow visitors to select personalized ads, will my earnings increase?
Thank you very much.
