Communicate consent signals
Use the Privacy API to communicate the correct consent signal for each applicable framework. When you send these signals through the Privacy API, the SDK automatically applies the appropriate ad-delivery mode, for example, disabling personalized ads when a user opts out or enforcing contextual ads for apps directed to children. For more information about the Unity Ads opt-in consent API, refer to the Unity Ads Privacy API reference for developers using Java, Kotlin, Objective-C, and Swift. Refer to the following tables to identify the consent signal expected per privacy framework.Consent signal mappings
