Google’s Digital Markets Act Consent Policy

Starting March 6, 2024, Google will enforce a revised EU user consent policy aligned with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Kochava equips advertisers with vital tools to relay consent signals to Google Ads and Google Marketing Platform, facilitating adherence to the updated policy and maintaining attribution for consenting European Economic Area (EEA) users.


SDK Integration

Kochava’s software development kit (SDK) seamlessly retrieves and transmits the consent string on install and event payloads when the SDK is implemented to send the install or event after the user has provided consent, and when you utilize a consent management platform that supports the Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) v2.2 or the Global Privacy Platform API v1.1. The consent string is parsed upon receipt to populate Google’s required consent signals.

Supported SDK versions:


Server-to-Server

Advertisers using a server-to-server integration to syndicate app installs and events to Kochava have the option to include a gdpr_privacy_consent object, supporting Google’s consent requirements. Kochava offers advertisers the flexibility to choose between passing the complete consent string or solely Google-specific consent signals.
