So, in your opinion, do you think opt-in wouldn't be necessary if the app just shows "vanilla" banner and interstitial ads? Is it sufficient to disclose the use

So, in your opinion, do you think opt-in wouldn't be necessary if the app just shows "vanilla" banner and interstitial ads? Is it sufficient to disclose the use of ads in the app description in the Google Play store, and mention them in the privacy policy? Why mention this opt-in dialog at all if it's optional? I can't think of an instance where a developer would choose to implement this voluntarily.

> Why mention this opt-in dialog at all if it's optional? But you might ask why mention anything that isn't required. I suspect that Google is trying to get voluntary compliance for behaviors it can't require. The reason it can't require them might be that there are practices that violate the guidelines in Google's own advertisement activities. I don't know this for a fact, but it might be a reason to be less than demanding toward the Google Play app submitters. For me, this is academic -- I have a number of Android apps at the Google Play store, but they're free and they don't show ads. Which means everybody else hates me. :) https://play.google.com/store/search?q=paul%20lutus&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/search?q=paul%20lutus&hl=en
