Google publisher policies govern participation in Google’s products. Applicable laws may impose separate obligations based on the publisher, audience, data collected, and commercial practices. A site can follow a Google help article and still need legal review for privacy disclosures, consent, consumer protection, accessibility, or endorsements. This article offers general information, not legal advice.
Google’s Publisher Policies include privacy-related requirements, and its required privacy content explains Google’s ad-cookie disclosures. These sources do not decide every legal duty in every jurisdiction. Consult qualified counsel for questions specific to your site.
Use SiteReadyScore to inspect public pages and links, then treat legal review as a separate workstream. The scan cannot certify legal compliance, consent validity, or privacy-policy sufficiency.
