Google Delays Testing AdSense FLEDGE API
Google had planned to test the FLEDGE API for AdSense on August 28, but the company now pushed the start date to on or after September 24. The API uses interest groups to enable websites to display ads deemed relevant to users. AdSense will expand testing and begin rendering ads on a small percentage of traffic, globally. There is no publisher revenue impact expected at this stage, according to Google.

Please note that during this initial testing phase, the blocking control for animated display ads will not apply, meaning animated ads may serve via FLEDGE even if you’ve enabled the blocking control.
If you would like to turn off access to FLEDGE on your sites, you can do so via Chrome’s permission policy header.
Please note, the use of Topics and FLEDGE is subject to Google’s EU User Consent policy requirements (e.g. obtaining users’ legally valid consent for the collection, sharing and use of personal data for ads personalization).
