Google AdSense Adds New Privacy Law & Opt-Out Mechanism
Briefly

Google AdSense has launched universal opt-out mechanisms and enhanced privacy controls due to new regulations across several US states. The implementation involves recognizing Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals to opt users out of ad targeting, data sale, or sharing. New comprehensive state laws, including Tennessee and Minnesota, have also been rolled out, requiring Google to activate RDP mode, which disables ad personalization to comply with opt-out requests. Publishers are advised to consult legal teams to determine if RDP mode is suitable for compliance in their respective states.
