Page Summary
The parameter is used for controlling how policy exemption is done.
ignorable_policy_topics[] allows specifying policy topics that won't cause a PolicyFindingError for Enhanced Text Ads, but violating resources still won't serve initially.
exempt_policy_violation_keys[] lists specific policy violation keys that won't trigger a PolicyViolationError if exemptible, but violating resources also won't serve until eligible.
Resources saved with policy violations using these parameters may become eligible to serve later due to policy changes, re-reviews, or advertiser certificate updates.
Parameter for controlling how policy exemption is done.
The list of policy violation keys that should not cause a PolicyViolationError to be reported. Not all policy violations are exemptable. Refer to the is_exemptible field in the returned PolicyViolationError. This field is used for keyword policy exemptions.
If this field is populated, then ignorable_policy_topics must be empty.
Resources that violate these policies will be saved, but will not be eligible to serve. They may begin serving at a later time due to a change in policies, re-review of the resource, or a change in advertiser certificates.
