If you are a Mobile web publisher with GAM 360, Google AdX, and GAM SMB (with CTA/Click to Accept feature only) accounts, you can join via a GOB integration.

Additional Instructions for GDPR

Follow the additional instructions below about GDPR settings on your Google dashboard for higher monetization results. The following configuration applies to traffic from European Economic Area and publishers using AdMob/GAM CMP for GDPR consent purposes. Google CMP provides two ways of adding ad partners on their AdMob/GAM platform:

  • Commonly used ad partners
  • Custom ad partners

InMobi is not part of ‘Commonly used ad partners’ by default, and you must add it manually by selecting Custom ad partners.

Follow the instructions below to enable InMobi under Custom ad partners on your Google dashboard.

  1. On the Google Dashboard, select Privacy & messaging GDPR Settings Review your ad partners.
  2. Select Custom ad partners and then InMobi from the list and save the setting.
