public PublisherAdRequest.Builder setTagForUnderAgeOfConsent (int tagForUnderAgeOfConsent)

This method is deprecated.
See setTagForUnderAgeOfConsent(int)

This method allows you to mark your ad requests to receive treatment for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) under the age of consent. This feature is designed to help facilitate compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Note that you may have other legal obligations under GDPR. Please review the European Union's guidance and consult with your own legal counsel. Please remember that Google's tools are designed to facilitate compliance and do not relieve any particular publisher of its obligations under the law.

When using this feature, a Tag For Users under the Age of Consent in Europe (TFUA) parameter will be included in the ad request. This parameter disables personalized advertising, including remarketing, for that specific ad request. It also disables requests to third-party ad vendors, such as ad measurement pixels and third-party ad servers.

If you set this method to TAG_FOR_UNDER_AGE_OF_CONSENT_TRUE, you will indicate that you want the ad request to be handled in a manner suitable for users under the age of consent.

If you set this method to TAG_FOR_UNDER_AGE_OF_CONSENT_FALSE, you will indicate that you don't want the ad request to be handled in a manner suitable for users under the age of consent.

If you do not set this method, or set this method to TAG_FOR_UNDER_AGE_OF_CONSENT_UNSPECIFIED, ad requests will include no indication of how you would like your app to be handled in a manner suitable for users under the age of consent.

If you set this method to true, you will indicate that ad requests should be treated as child-directed for purposes of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If you set this method to false, you will indicate that ad requests should not be treated as child-directed for purposes of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If you do not set this method, ad requests will include no indication of how you would like your app treated with respect to COPPA.

By setting this method, you certify that this notification is accurate and you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the app. You understand that abuse of this setting may result in termination of your Google account.

Note: it may take some time for this designation to be fully implemented in applicable Google services.

This designation will only apply to ad requests for which you have set this method.
