Making Money with Consent Popups: A Simple Guide

Want to make money from your website while following privacy rules? This guide will show you how to do it right!

Why Do You Need a Consent Popup?

These days, websites need to ask visitors for permission before showing them ads. This is because of privacy laws like GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California.

A consent popup (CMP) helps you:

  • Follow the law
  • Keep making money from ads
  • Build trust with your visitors

How to Add a Consent Popup to Your Website

Here's a simple way to add a consent popup:

index.html

// Step 1: Add the CMP script
<script>
    window.__tcfapi('addEventListener', 2, function(tcData, success) {
        if (success && tcData.eventStatus === 'tcloaded') {
            // Start showing ads after getting consent
            startAds();
        }
    });
</script>
