CURRENTLY SUPPORTED ADVERTISERS

3
GDPR COMPLIANCE

Our plugin does not collect any personal information only selected advertisers collect personal
information about users. Here is a list of how any advertiser deals with personal user data and what you
have to do to be compliant with GDPR:

Unity Ads
Versions 2.0 and above will automatically present users with an opportunity to opt-out of
targeted advertising, with no implementation needed from the publisher. On a per-app
basis, the first time a Unity ad appears, the user will see a banner with the option to
opt-out of behaviorally targeted advertising. Thereafter, the user can click an informa-
tion button to receive the opt-out again.
No specific action needed.

Vungle
Vungle will display a consent dialog before playing an ad for a European user, and will
remember the user’s consent or rejection for subsequent ads.
No specific action needed.

4
Admob, AdColony, AppLovin, Heyzap
All require that implementation of getting user consent for receiving targeted ads to be
made by publisher in his application and then to be sent to their SDK(Admob, AdColony, AppLovin
Heyzap).

If the application user does not accept the compliance they will keep serving ads but it
will not be targeted anymore.
Getting consent from the user is needed to display ads in order to be compliant with GDPR.

Chartboost
Chartboost requires that implementation of getting user consent for receiving targeted ads
to be made by publisher in his application and then sent to Chartboost SDK.

If the application user does not accept the compliance Chartboost SDK will not provide any
Ads.
Getting consent from the user is needed to display ads in order to be compliant with GDPR.

Facebook Audience Network

For Facebook no action is required, they deal with GDPR from Facebook app.
But keep in mind this:
● The user has to have logged into Facebook within the last 30 days on that particular
device to be able to see live ads.
● The user has to have consented to targeted ads from within the Facebook apps in order to see live ads.

For detailed implementation see section Usage Guide.

5
COPPA COMPLIANCE

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) is required if your app is directed to children under the
age of 13. To be compliant with COPPA your app does not have to collect any user data.

Each ad publisher we support has his own way to deal with COPPA. some of them within dashboard and
some of them required some in app setup. Here is a detailed description of what you should do to be
compliant:

GDPR Compliance
(it is not required if just Unity and/or Vungle sdk`s are used, otherwise is mandatory for GDPR).

Call this before calling initialize the SDK

//check if the user was not already asked
if(Advertisements.Instance.UserConsentWasSet()==false)
{
//display your custom popup to notify the user about targeted
//advertisements with YES and NO options
if(YES)
{
//means that user agrees with data processing
Advertisements.Instance.SetUserConsent(true);
}
else
{
//user doesn't want to share his data
Advertisements.Instance.SetUserConsent(false);
}
}

19
 Advertisements.Instance.SetUserConsent(bool consent);
Sets and also stores(saves on device) the user answer so all ads from now on will be displayed
Based on this settings.
The default setting (if is not set by the user) is true - will display targeted ads.

bool Advertisements.Instance.UserConsentWasSet()
If true, user already gave his consent, do not bother him anymore.

A detailed implementation can be found in TestAds.cs

Remove Ads

Advertisements.Instance.RemoveAds(true);
If parameter is true, no banner and interstitial ads will be shown, rewarded videos will work.
You have to call this just once, then it will be saved and used accordingly.
You only need this method if you have an in app product that has remove ads functionality or
other methods that permit to remove all ads from the game.

20
Initializing the SDK:

Advertisements.Instance.Initialize();
This method must be called once at the launch of your project.
No prefabs need to be dragged into stage and no scripts needs to be attached to GameObjects.

Display Banner ad:

Advertisements.Instance.ShowBanner(BannerPosition.BOTTOM);
Supported banner positions are TOP and BOTTOM.

Hide Banner ad:

Advertisements.Instance.HideBanner();

Show Interstitial ad:

//show interstitial based on your mediation settings

Advertisements.Instance.ShowInterstitial(InterstitialClosed);
OR:
//show an interstitial from a specific advertiser
Advertisements.Instance.ShowInterstitial(
GleyMobileAds.SupportedAdvertisers.AdvertiserName, InterstitialClosed);

private void InterstitialClosed(string advertiser)

{
Debug.Log("Interstitial closed from: "+ advertiser+" -> Resume Game ");
}

The InterstitialClosed callback method is called after an interstitial ad is closed.

This callback is optional.

Show Rewarded Video ad:

//show rewarded video based on your mediation settings

Advertisements.Instance.ShowRewardedVideo(CompleteMethod);

Debug.Log("Closed rewarded from: "+advertiser+" -> Completed " + completed);
if(completed == true)
{
//give the reward
}
else

//no reward
}
}
