4. Advertising and Consent
Launcher5 may display ads through Google AdMob, including formats such as app open, interstitial, banner, and native ads.
In certain regions (e.g., EEA, UK, Switzerland), we use Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to obtain or manage your advertising consent before serving personalized ads.
You may see a consent form where required by law.
You can change ad personalization choices later through in-app privacy settings (where available) or your device’s Google Ads settings.
Some users may see in-app website content in a WebView as part of promotional flows. Third-party websites you visit may use their own cookies and tracking under their policies.
