Adsense GDPR consent -- get rid of that little popup icon?

[londrum]

Hi.
I've just turned on Google's own GDPR cookie consent banner in Adsense and it's all working fine. I can consent and get the ads to appear okay.
But when I scroll down to the bottom of any page there's now a little privacy icon in a shield on the bottom left of the screen, which pops out and says 'privacy and cookie settings managed by google'
i thought it might be something to do with the safari browser, but it appears in firefox as well, so i assume it's something that comes with google's banner.
it's very annoying because when it pops out it covers up the stuff at the bottom of my page.

is anyone else seeing this, and is there any way to turn it off? i can't see anything in the adsense settings

Peace first, then...

The GDPR involves the requirement that each visitor can change his mind, and be able to remove his consent (or grant it, if he had previously refused). So any well implemented consent mechanism, has to offer the visitor this possibility. Regulation organisms agreed that it must be achieved by providing and icon/link, which is bringing back the consent banner, and have the choice again. This icon must be easily findable and identifiable.

oh right, this is the first time i've ever seen it. i assumed most people with adsense on their site were using googles consent thing, but maybe theyre not

If we follow the logic, using Google's own consent banner, is not compliant with the GDPR, because it makes a request to Google's server, ... don't look at me like this, i am just following the logic and jurisprudence of Google's fonts : [webmasterworld.com...]
