User-level COPPA
Unity LevelPlay lets publishers communicate Yandex Ads User-level COPPA settings directly to the Yandex Ads network. This feature is enabled using LevelPlay SDK 8.1.0+, Yandex Ads Adapter 4.3.1+.
Use the following syntax, to update Yandex Ads COPPA User Status with true:
LevelPlay.setMetaData("Yandex_COPPA","true");
Use the following syntax, to update Yandex Ads COPPA User Status with false:
LevelPlay.setMetaData("Yandex_COPPA","false");
