I saw that one and have it I will have a second look if I can use it properly with my project it was tough the last time i tried.
I picke simpler version I found that was newer ( 2023). Maybe I'm doing something wrong and they are all actually okay.

Do you need the consentform even for rewarded fullscreen ads which the user presses him/herself to activate?

Type of ads has nothing to do about consent form. If you show ads at EU and GB you will have to show the UMP consent form sometime in 2023.

Can you post the warning message?
Warning message is in admob site and says following:
"Later this year, Google will require all publishers serving ads to users in the EEA and UK to use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP). You can use any Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) for this purpose, including Google's Consent Management Solution. If you are interested in using Google's consent management solution, start by configuring the GDPR message and implementing the UMP SDK. Learn more"

Are you showing the consent form?
I think SDK did not updated since then (not sure) and if user decline at consent form then no ad will be shown.... It will have a huge impact at ad revenue... All other UMP solutions that are accepted by google admob are paid solutions.

You can restrict user to use app if non-personalized/personalized consent is not given.
User just need to click on MORE OPTIONS and then OK, this will completely turn off ADS in app, so user can use your app without ADS free of charge.

Here is a solution to know what kind of AD is user selected and whether applications can display advertisements at all.

Kotlin/Swift:

Java:

I am not sure if it is legit to disable part of app according to user's preferences...

These are not making any ssense to me, can someone please explain what it means in simple terms?

I got simple banners and rewarded ads finally going, and this comes along, should i ditch them? Does this mean additional techology / API's being involved? Even Money?

I just use the standard Google setup, no extra networks etc

I'm thinking of just make the app premium now, and another app outside EU / UK that can use what I have learned to do so far with with ads, it feels stupid to throw all hard work away.

After constant reading and checking, this is what works on across all my devices, and it asks for conscent (ONCE).

I checked for one page version, and one libgdx/activity version. This is the second one as the dirst one is already accessible on the forum as-is by Erel.

If you do not conscent, is it impossible to get rewards, will rewardads still work? I use reward ads as the driving mechanism to get important features in the app it would be worthless if the user would not get that. Banners can be a separate issue..
