How do admob GDPR consent only once open?

Hi! I added AdMob ads to my app. When the app starts, I want an interstitial ad to appear. If the ad doesn’t load within 5 seconds, the game should start automatically. Alternatively, the game should start right after the user closes or clicks the ad.

I also enabled the GDPR message option in AdMob. The first issue is that the GDPR message appears over the ad, so by the time the user accepts the consent, the ad has already disappeared in the background.

The second issue is that the GDPR consent message appears every time I open the app. Even if I accept it, play the game, close it, and reopen it, the message shows up again. How can I make the app remember if a user has already accepted or not?

I have 2 app, one calendar and one quiz game, i will put the calendar google link:

play.google.com/store/apps/details

Hi! I ran into similar issues and eventually decided to stop using Construct’s built-in GDPR message. Instead, I switched to an addon called "AdMob Pro" by EMI INDO, which worked much better for my needs.

This addon gives you access to the user's consent status. What I recommend is to check the consent status on app startup, and only initialize or display ads if the user has granted consent.

Once the user provides or denies consent, their choice is stored locally (I believe in localStorage), so you shouldn’t see the GDPR prompt again unless it's explicitly required.

The plugin costs money, I can't really afford to spend money on stuff, I don't live in a very rich country, I would prefer something free, like the one I already use.

I used this version, which is 100% free.
