Hi, Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
Please find your answers for your questions below: >> For uploadClickConversions with GCLID/WBRAID/GBRAID, what is the expected >> behavior if the consent object is: If consent is missing for EEA users, then the consent value is determined as not consented. Data from unconsented EEA users won't be processed and cannot be used for ad personalization using Customer Match. See FAQs and updates to consent mode for more details. Will these conversions still appear in reports (e.g. all_conversions)? No, the conversion will not be reported in UI if you don't specify the consent. If consents are missing, then the consent value is determined as not consented. Data from unconsented EEA users will not be processed and cannot be used for ad personalization. Will they still be eligible to populate a conversion-based user list? No, user lists are not eligible to populate. You can refer to the usage flow document which suggest to populate the consent field of customer_match_user_list_metadata in your OfflineUserDataJob request. >>Is a conversion-based user list that is used only for exclusion (invalid >>traffic) still treated as “personalized advertising” and therefore requires >>ad_personalization = GRANTED? Yes, you need to pass the consent even when the user lists the user for exclusion. Only to remove user list requests, consent is not needed. >> Is the following pattern correct/allowed: Yes, the pattern you have provided is correct i.e setting the ad_user_data + ad_personalization = GRANTED for both the conversions and user lists. >> When I omit the consent object completely, does Google infer consent state >> automatically from Consent Mode / other signals and silently treat some >> uploads as non-eligible (for reporting or user lists)? Or are such uploads >> supposed to behave the same as if consent were not restricted? Yes, when you omit the consent object then those uploads are not eligible and not reported in the user list. As your list size list is small, I would suggest to pass the consent parameter and refer to the help center. Thanks, Google Ads API Team Feedback How was our support today?
