Segui i passaggi descritti in Impostazioni GDPR e Impostazioni relative alle normative statali degli Stati Uniti per aggiungere Liftoff all'elenco di partner pubblicitari per le normative GDPR e statali degli Stati Uniti nell' AdMob UI.
Step 3: Import the Vungle SDK and Liftoff Monetize adapter
Integrazione tramite pub.dev
Aggiungi la seguente dipendenza con le versioni più recenti dei
Liftoff Monetize L'SDK e l'adattatore presenti nel tuo pacchetto
pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize: ^1.0.0
Integrazione manuale
Scarica l'ultima versione del plug-in di mediazione degli annunci per dispositivi mobili di Google per
Liftoff Monetize,
estrai il file scaricato e aggiungi la cartella del plug-in estratta
(e i relativi contenuti) al tuo progetto Flutter. Quindi, fai riferimento al plug-in
pubspec.yaml file aggiungendo la seguente dipendenza:
dependencies:
gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize:
path: path/to/local/package
Step 4: Implement privacy settings on Liftoff Monetize 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 Liftoff Monetize includes the
GmaMediationLiftoffmonetize.setGDPRStatus() method. The following sample code
shows how to pass consent information to the Vungle SDK. If you choose to
call this method, it is recommended to call it prior to requesting ads through
the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
import 'package:gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize/gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize.dart';
// ...
GmaMediationLiftoffmonetize.setGDPRStatus(true, "1.0.0");
See GDPR recommended implementation instructions for Android and iOS for more details and the values that can be provided in the method.
US state 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 Liftoff Monetize includes the
GmaMediationLiftoffmonetize.setCCPAStatus() method. The following sample code
shows how to pass consent information to the Vungle SDK. If you choose to
call this method, it is recommended to call it prior to requesting ads through
the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
import 'package:gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize/gma_mediation_liftoffmonetize.dart';
// ...
GmaMediationLiftoffmonetize.setCCPAStatus(true);
See CCPA recommended implementation instructions for Android and iOS for more details and the values that can be provided in the method.
Step 5: Add required code
Android
No additional code is required Liftoff Monetize integration.
iOS
SKAdNetwork integration
Follow Liftoff Monetize's
documentation
to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist file.
Step 6: Test your implementation
Attiva annunci di prova
Assicurati di registrare il dispositivo di test per AdMob e abilitare la modalità di test nell'interfaccia Liftoff Monetize UI.
Verifica annunci di prova
Per verificare di ricevere annunci di prova daLiftoff Monetize, attiva il test di una singola origine annuncio nello strumento di controllo degli annunci utilizzando le Liftoff Monetize (Bidding) and Liftoff Monetize (Waterfall) origini annuncio.
