path: path/to/local/package
Step 4: Implement privacy settings on Unity Ads SDK
EU Consent and GDPR
Under the Google EU User Consent Policy, you must ensure that certain disclosures are given to, and consents obtained from, users in the European Economic Area (EEA) regarding the use of device identifiers and personal data. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When seeking consent, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may collect, receive, or use personal data and provide information about each network's use. Google currently is unable to pass the user's consent choice to such networks automatically.
The Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for Unity Ads
includes the
GmaMediationUnity.setGDPRConsent()
method. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the
Unity Ads SDK. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended that you do
so prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
import 'package:gma_mediation_unity/gma_mediation_unity.dart';
// ...
GmaMediationUnity.setGDPRConsent(true);
See Unity Ads' Privacy Consent and data APIs and Complying with GDPR guides for more details and the values that can be provided in each method.
US states privacy laws
U.S. states privacy laws require giving users the right to opt out of the "sale" of their "personal information" (as the law defines those terms), with the opt-out offered via a prominent "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the "selling" party's homepage. The U.S. states privacy laws compliance guide offers the ability to enable restricted data processing for Google ad serving, but Google is unable to apply this setting to each ad network in your mediation chain. Therefore, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may participate in the sale of personal information and follow guidance from each of those networks to ensure compliance.
The Google Mobile Ads mediation plugin for Unity Ads
includes the
GmaMediationUnity.setCCPAConsent()
method. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the
Unity Ads SDK. If you choose to call this method, it is recommended that you do
so prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
import 'package:gma_mediation_unity/gma_mediation_unity.dart';
// ...
GmaMediationUnity.setCCPAConsent(true);
Step 5: Add required code
Android
No Additional code required for Unity Ads Android integrations.
iOS
SKAdNetwork integration
Follow Unity Ads' documentation
to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist
file.
Step 6: Test your implementation
启用测试广告
请务必为AdMob 注册您的测试设备,并在 Unity Ads 界面中启用测试模式。
验证测试广告
如需验证您收到的是来自Unity Ads的测试广告,请使用相应广告来源在广告检查器中启用单一广告来源测试。 Unity Ads (Waterfall)
