Google Ads and DMA
The Digital Markets Act is the EU’s law to make the markets in the digital sector fairer and more contestable. In order to do so, the Digital Markets Act (“DMA”) establishes a set of clearly defined objective criteria to identify “gatekeepers”. Gatekeepers are large digital platforms providing so called core platform services, such as online search engines, app stores, and messenger services. Gatekeepers will have to comply with the do’s and don’ts listed in the DMA. DMA goes into effect on March 6, 2024.
This new change requires advertisers to disclose certain information to their EEA and UK end users, as well as obtain necessary consents from them.
In order to comply with DMA, Google has updated their EU user consent policy and Google Ads will require all brands who advertise to European citizens on any Google platform to share the following user consent data:
- Consent for sending user data to Google for advertising purposes.
- Consent for personalizing the advertisements.
Note
If you are on Blueshift’s EU instance (i.e. if you access Blueshift via the URL https://app.eu.getblueshift.com), this feature will be automatically enabled for your account. If you are not on our EU instance, please reach out to your CSM if you would like the DMA compliance feature to be enabled for one or more of your accounts.
How you can comply with DMA
Step1:
Blueshift has added two standard attributes to the customer profile.
- google_ad_user_data (Data type - Boolean)
- google_ad_personalization (Data type - Boolean)
Send your customers’ consent signals to Blueshift using these attributes. The attributes are displayed in the customer profile under the Ad Preferences section.
| Attribute Name | Values | Definition |
| google_ad_user_data |
|
Sets consent for sending user data to Google for advertising purposes. |
| google_ad_personalization |
|
Sets consent for personalized advertising. |
Step 2:
When you syndicate the audience with Google Ads, you will have to specify whether you want to syndicate only users who have consented to Google Ads and Ads personalization or whether you want to syndicate any user who hasn’t explicitly opted out of Google Ads. Blueshift will automatically report the data from the aforementioned consent attributes to the appropriate consent fields in Google.
Note
- Any new syndication you create, will default to the first option.
- Blueshift will show you a count of customers who meet the criteria for the option you select.
- We do not recommend running multiple Google Ads syndication jobs with the same audience at the same time as it can cause these syndications to error out.
