Turning off personalized ads?

Does this meet GDPR? What difference in earnings?

1. Has anybody turned off personalized ads and if so, what change did it make?

2. If these are turned off, does that mean there's no need for any GDPR consent banner?

You still need the GDPR consent banner because of Google's first party cookies which are used for spam-control and rate-limiting.

Switching off personalized ads only works for new visitors AFAIK, so it may take some time before the effects are visible, especially if your site has a large percentage of repeat visitors.

Thanks.

Do you have any knowledge of GDRP? As I'm yet to find anybody who doesn't just contradict other people.

I've started giving UniConsent a try - ever heard of it?
