Hi Thunkers!

I wanted to share some context and requirements around consent management updates for AdMob.

First of all, this impacts creators using AdMob who have end users in the UK and [EEA](https://www.gov.uk/eu-eea#:~:text=The%20European%20Economic%20Area%20(%20EEA,the%20EU%20's%20single%20market.))  
(EU countries + Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway).

Beginning January 16th, 2024, Google will require all publishers serving ads to EEA and UK end users to use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP). You can use any[Google-certified CMP](https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/13554116?hl=en#zippy=%2Cgoogle-certified-cmps) for this purpose, including Google’s own consent management solution. Additional details[here](https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/13554116?hl=en#zippy=).

Thunkable took care of this change so that every app using AdMob includes this consent management.

For existing published apps, Google messaged the following: “If I don’t publish a consent message by the deadline, Google will attempt to publish a default consent message for me using an interstitial or app open ad unit, when possible.”

NEXT STEPS:

**Publish an update for your app on Google Play and App Store for these changes to take effect.**

Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this change.

What can you expect to see?

Automatically, when you open the AdMob platform, a pop-up window appears where you can select the first option to create a GDPR consent message.

When your European users will open your app they will see the following alert message:
