Date	Time	Description
Nov 16, 2023	5:06 AM UTC	The problem with AdMob has been resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and continued support. For Google AdMob publishers who use "Privacy & messaging" GDPR messaging functionality: Between ~4PM UTC November 8, 2023 and ~4PM UTC November 15, 2023, some or all newly created TC consent strings may have only allowed corresponding end users to be eligible for Limited Ads serving. We have now invalidated all impacted TC consent strings, meaning the corresponding end users will be asked to re-consent during their next visit to apps for which you have published GDPR messaging. You may observe an increase in "Limited ads" traffic during the impact period when running AdMob reports that include the "Serving restriction" dimension.
