I have few sites that am monetizing trough adense & lately i noticed a message about something to do about changing the privacy policies on websites that uses adsense. So i checked the terms and I did find that they request that the website has a privacy policy. The thing is that my payment is Due and I have not been told anything about that by Google, do you all have a privacy policy?
Every blog and website must have a privacy page or have the following on it. Google Ads that Are On Our Website # Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our website. # Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and other sites on the Internet. # Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy add this link to the bottom line of what is written http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html If that is not on it you have a risk of being banned.
I have a boatload of sites with adsense on them, but it really isnt worth updating every single one of them for the mere pennies per click I get out of it. I wonder if I could just create 1 privacy policy page on my server with the new Google terms on it and then just put a simple link on each site pointing to it? Any suggestions?
I added privacy policy to couple of my main sites... Didn't added yet to my small blogs Just google "Adsense friendly privacy policy generator".
I have Privacy policy on my site as per requirement of Adsense, I thinkg it is important thing to follow rules
I hav'nt added privacy policy in any of websites! will anything affect to my account or earnings. My earnings are dropped
Every website and blog as of april 8th if you use adsense you must have a policy page or this on your page or blog or risk losing your account . # Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our website. # Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and other sites on the Internet. # Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy Is it worth losing your account over this.
Not sure if it's okay but that's what I did for all sites in my same niche network. Just added a footer link to that page. The others not in that niche have separate ones. I have a ton of them to and nearly done with them all.
this was the email that was issued. We're writing to let you know about the upcoming launch of interest-based advertising, which will require you to review and make any necessary changes to your site's privacy policies. You'll also see some new options on your Account Settings page. Interest-based advertising will allow advertisers to show ads based on a user's previous interactions with them, such as visits to advertiser website and also to reach users based on their interests (e.g. "sports enthusiast"). To develop interest categories, we will recognize the types of web pages users visit throughout the Google content network. As an example, if they visit a number of sports pages, we will add them to the "sports enthusiast" interest category. To learn more about your associated account settings, please visit the AdSense Help Center at http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=20310. As a result of this announcement, your privacy policy will now need to reflect the use of interest-based advertising. Please review the information at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=100557 to ensure that your site's privacy policies are up-to-date, and make any necessary changes by April 8, 2009. Because publisher sites and laws vary across countries, we're unfortunately unable to suggest specific privacy policy language. For more information about interest-based advertising, you can also visit the Inside AdSense Blog at http://adsense.blogspot.com/2009/03/driving-monetization-with-ads-that.html. We appreciate your participation and look forward to this upcoming enhancement
