Summary
PROBLEM
With GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations rolling out, the Google ecosystem of publisher products needed a scalable way to help publishers comply with regulations and manage their various consent messages.
The publishers also needed to understand the impact of the different regulations on ad serving.
My role was to work with the existing system and improve it, as well as adapt it to AdSense-specific use cases in a way that would be minimally taxing on engineering whilst ensuring compliance with design standards.
