Android Question GDPR and Firebase Admob

[quimacama]

I'm a bit confused with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Do we have to update our Firebase Admob SDK to comply with the new standard and obtain user consent to show them ads?
If so, how and when to do it?

This is the relevant page: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/eu-consent

If I understand correctly Google haven't yet released this SDK. Will probably happen in a few days.

If I understand correctly Google haven't yet released this SDK. Will probably happen in a few days.

Note: The Consent SDK will be made available by mid-May. The functionality, however, will not take effect until May 25, 2018. Please do not attempt to use these APIs before May 25, because they may disrupt ad serving on your app.

From what you've seen of the documentation so far, do you think this is something that will be able to be implemented with in-line Java code, or will we need a wrapper for the SDK?

It doesn't really matter. I will update the library if needed.

and what about mediation in admob? will this stop working if they don't detect the right sdk in the mediation adapter?

Chartboost for example released a new SDK just for this gdpr misery.

Tutorial about Google consent SDK: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebaseadmob-and-user-consent.93347/

You can see a bit of information about mediation at the end of this page: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/eu-consent

As I understand it, and I haven't checked it deeply, it is enough to enable the relevant providers in the AdMob EU consent page (see the tutorial).

It will look like this if the user clicks on the "learn how ... and our partners collect and use data" link:
