Hello Henning

Hmm, so then there is not much point in asking for consent with CookieYes/other, if it does not enable personalized ads being served by Adsense. It is kind of why you ask for this Marketing consent?!

If the users already have Personalized ads enabled in their Google Account, and also given the Marketing consent with GCM V2, I don’t understand why the ads should remain non-personalized. Also asking for consent twice using both a GCM V2 cookie-bar and the Adsense GDPR bar is nonsense!

Any idea to overcome this?

Hi Henning

Thank you for your feedback!

I have done similar testing as you, and also get the same results. The npa string is shown without personalized ads consent, and npa string is removed when consent is given.

However the exactly same non-personalized ads will be shown despite consent is given or not, so the Personalized ads are not actually not honoured/showing. When checking the info on the actual ads (click the triangle on ads displayed), it will say that “Ads personalization is disabled” even though one have this enabled (and are not blocking ads etc.).

If enabling the Adsense GDPR bar instead or together with the CookieYes bar, then Personalized ads will indeed work and be displayed right after consent given. The info (triangle) on the displayed ads will then also now say it is based on Personalized ads.

I noticed when using the Adsense GDPR bar, it does not seem to only rely on the npa string being removed, but will actually change format to “ads?gdpr=1&gdpr_consent” when consent is given.

So personalized ads are not actually served despite consent given, unless used (together) with the Adsense GDPR bar – which means double consent required for no reason.

I have now tried several other GDPR/Cookie banner plugins, and they do not shortly load/appear in the top/header at each page refresh.

I prefer to use this one since already setup, and design match theme. However it is quite annoying it keep appearing in the top of the page a second or so at each refresh (even after the banner in the footer have already beeen Accepted).

It should be possible to avoid somehow, as do not experience this with any other similar plugins??!

PS the Danish added in V1.5.7 is pretty horrible. Not sure if machine translated, but most is pretty rubbish. I will try to translate some when up and running.
