Ads can be placed on the canvas view of a gadget. AdSense is one of the possible sources for such ads. AdSense uses cookies and therefore requires that you show the user a privacy policy. The required privacy policy is not small. A gadget can be created with the Google Gadgets Editor and hosted at hosting.gmodules.com. So I see two choices for displaying the required privacy policy: 1. Put it right on the canvas page. That's unattractive because it takes up a lot of space. 2. Put a separate .html file on hosting.gmodules.com and link to it from the canvas page. Does the latter approach conflict with any of the many Terms and Conditions? Does it have any other issues? How would a user return from such a privacy policy page to the canvas page of the original gadget?
And, finally, a philosophical question: Why does it appear that the gadget developers never considered the possiblity that people would want to put ads within gadgets and why does it appear that the AdSense people are totally unaware of gadgets at all (except Gadget Ads designed for display on full web pages)? Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
