Google announced in September that there would be upcoming changes to support the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Google is releasing changes to the Google Ads API and the Display & Video 360 API as quickly as possible so that our developers have time to make application changes before DMA starts being enforced, expected March 6, 2024. Review the EU user consent policy for a reminder on our consent requirements for users in the European Economic Area.

What should I change for the Google Ads API?

The Google Ads API v15 release introduced the Consent object for uploading consent with your data. This Consent is used across all uploads for call conversions, click conversions , Customer Match, and Store Sales. Here is where to set the Consent for each feature.
