I wish there was an open source project for developers to implement those darn consent forms.
Adsense offers an automatic consent modal. But the problem with that one is that it not only displays the consent modal but also injects a smaller widget into the site. It looks like the widget only pops up when the user scrolls down to the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, that also makes it pop up when the page is not longer than the screen. So pages where all content fits on one screen look really shitty.
Anybody who has a website with Adsense here? How do you guys deal with this?
Anybody here who wrote their own consent modal?
I am about to implement my own. Unfortunately that will then not be automatically handled by extensions like the one in this post or ublock. Putting the burden of clicking it away on my users. Even on the 50% that use an ad blocker anyhow :/
- jsmith99 5y agoIf you want it to be handled by ublock you could always self report to a popular ad list like Easy List.

- elevatortrim 5y agoHow about implementing the website or app as if all users only give consent to essential cookies and show no consent UI at all?
- FreeHugs 5y agoFirst of all, GDPR is not about cookies. It is about personal data. And so far, courts have considered the user's IP to be personal data. Since advertisers need to know if you really show their ads, the ads need to send some signal back from the user to the advertiser. So ads always send the user's IP to a third party: The advertiser or a trusted intermediary. Assuming no consent to that for everybody would mean that the revenue of my website goes to zero. And I would not be able to run it anymore. As the ones paying for the costs are the users who consent.
