When you enable ad network optimization for one of the available ad networks, you will be asked to check a checkbox indicating that you authorize AdMob and Google to access, manage, retrieve, and analyze data relating to your account with the ad network. Checking the box also indicates that, by allowing Google to access this information, you aren't violating any of your third-party agreements.
There are several other instances in which you are required to check this box if you haven't already given your authorization:
- If you edit the existing credentials for an ad network you previously enabled for ad network optimization and that network supports scraping and has scraping credentials configured.
- If you add an ad network that you've previously removed, and that ad network supports scraping and has scraping credentials configured.
- If you edit the existing allocation on the ad unit mediation page for an ad network that supports scraping and has scraping credentials configured.
- If you add a new allocation on the ad unit mediation page for an ad network that supports scraping and already has scraping credentials configured.
In any of these circumstances, you must check the authorization checkbox or you will be unable to use ad network optimization with the selected network(s).
Note: You may also be prompted to reauthorize the network(s) you're already using for ad network optimization. If you don't reauthorize, ad network optimization for the networks you're already using may stop.
