To help publishers toward compliance with the
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Google Interactive Media Ads SDK allows publishers
to use two different parameters to indicate whether Google should enable
restricted data processing (RDP). The SDK
provides publishers with the ability to set RDP at an ad request level utilizing the following
parameters:
When either parameter is used, Google restricts how it uses certain unique identifiers and other
data processed in the provision of services to publishers.
Publishers should decide for themselves how restricted data processing can support their
compliance plans and when it should be enabled. It is possible to use both optional parameters at
the same time, although they have the same effect on Google's ad serving.
This guide is intended to help publishers understand the steps required to enable these options on
a per-ad-request basis.
RDP signal
To notify Google that RDP should be enabled using Google's signal, append &rdp=1 to
your ad tag parameters, as shown in the following example:
To notify Google that RDP should be enabled using IAB's signal, use the ad tag parameter
us_privacy. Make sure that the string value you use is compliant with the
IAB specification.
The snippet below demonstrates how to create an ad request with the IAB parameter
