How did you implement your consent modal for Adsense?

[Multiverse]

So far, the only approach I found here on WebmasterWorld is to use the modal that Adsense offers themselves.

The problem with that one is that it not only displays the consent modal but also injects a smaller widget into the site. It looks like the widget only pops up when the user scrolls down to the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, that also makes it pop up when the page is not longer than the screen. So pages where the content fits on the screen look really #*$!ty.

How do you guys deal with this?

Anybody here who wrote their own consent modal?

Peace first,

Then, assuming you are talking about the GDRP :

So far, the only approach I found here on WebmasterWorld is to use the modal that Adsense offers themselves.

This is beacuse it sound simpler, and for years, publishers have been requesting such feature. Adsense was blaming publishers, for not following the consent recommendation mechanism , but was not it self really explaining how to be compliant, and Adsense was taking great care not to tell what to do, for not being responsible of anything (in theory).

So, there are plenty of consent manager provider (CMP) which popped. All offering , supposedly ready-to-use consent banner.

None of them are fully compliant, and now that the Transparency and Consent Framework of the IAB is failing to be compliant, then ... nearly everything is in violation of the GDPR.

Also, all third party js calls can be subject to violation of the GDPR ...

Now, to answer your question, I did my own banner. It might not be fully compliant either but at least I understand what it does, when, and why. Also I keep the control about what is showing on my page.

In Admanager you can find a very simple way to produce a banner.

So you are saying quantcast cmp is also not complaint anymore. Any article related to this if you can share (I always believe that 3rd party call should not be complaint with GDPR).

So you are saying quantcast cmp is also not complaint anymore.

I am saying "no one can tell for sure". Quantcast uses the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework, which was recently blasted by EU regulators.

IAB Europe in violation of the EU data-protection laws :

Also, since embedding Fonts from Google fonts is also illegal :

You can see that, at anytime, anything can be considered not compliant...we have to live with this ...

Edit: it's possible that paid solutions offer some kind of protection, I mean, if a publisher is fined whereas he correctly installed and configured a paid CMP, may be this CMP can handle the fine itself. I don't know. (some solutions are very expensive, so I assume they is a reason)

Hi Dimitry,

Happy to meet someone who made their own banner!

Technically, how did you make sure Adsense is not loaded before the user gives consent?

[Multiverse]

Sissi: What is "Admanager"?

[Dimitri]

I simply insert adsbygoogle.js only after the visitor clicked "I agree" .

Dimitri: That's a good idea. Do you only do the consent dance for European visitors or for everybody?

EU, California, Brazil, and Australia.

@multiverse
If you have an adsense account
It s easy to comply with EU law by using the tools under your account at
[admanager.google.com...]

Dimitri: How do you geo target those? Do you use some geo location service on the server side?

[Multiverse]

Sissi: Please see my initial post of this thread. I addressed the Google consent tool there.
