Why these changes are important:
Explicit DART Cookie Mention (Section 3): AdSense requires explicit disclosure of the DART cookie and a link to the opt-out page.
Explicit Data Usage for Ads (Section 4): Clarifies that Google uses non-personally identifiable information for ad targeting, a key AdSense requirement.
GDPR & CCPA Rights (Section 5): Google strongly emphasizes these sections. Providing separate, specific sections for the rights of users in the EEA/UK and California (CCPA) is crucial for compliance in those regions.
