Under Google's [EU User Consent Policy](https://www.google.com/about/company/user-consent-policy.html), you must make certain disclosures to your users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, and obtain their consent for the use of cookies or other local storage where legally required, and for the collection, sharing, and use of personal data for ads personalization. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To comply with this policy, publishers are required to adopt a [Google-certified consent management platform](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/13554116#zippy=%2Cgoogle-certified-cmps) (CMP) that has integrated with the [TCF framework](https://iabeurope.eu/transparency-consent-framework/) such as the [User Messaging Platform SDK](https://developers.google.com/admob/flutter/privacy). Once adopted, the CMP presents consent choices, known as purposes, in your mobile app. The exact UI for the consent choices is kept up-to-date by Google, but here's an earlier version for reference:  > [!IMPORTANT] > **Important:** In addition to collecting purposes consent, you also need to collect vendor consent.

The different types of ads that can be served are: - [Personalized ads](https://developers.google.com/admob/flutter/privacy/ad-serving-modes.md.txt#personalized_ads) - [Non-personalized ads](https://developers.google.com/admob/flutter/privacy/ad-serving-modes.md.txt#non-personalized_ads) - [Limited ads](https://developers.google.com/admob/flutter/privacy/ad-serving-modes.md.txt#limited_ads) ### Personalized ads [Personalized ads](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/7676680) are ads that make inferences about a user's interests based on the sites they visit or the apps they use.
