About data collection controls and allowed data usage for buyers
How your existing Data Collection control works with your buyers was clarified in Set the data collection control for Authorized Buyers. When allowed, buyers may only use your data when either of the following conditions has been met:
- For impressions for end users outside of the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland: the Buyer must have submitted a valid bid that was not pre-filtered prior to the auction.
- For impressions for end users within the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland: the Buyer must win the impression.

Details on the migration to Interactive reports
- April update: The migration to Interactive reports has been extended by one month to provide publishers additional time to migrate legacy reports.
- Migrate legacy scheduled reports by May 4: On the legacy Reports page, reports will be set to “Unscheduled” and will not run starting May 4. Migrate any reports scheduled in the Reports tool to Interactive reports before this date.
In Ad Manager "Reporting," Interactive reports will replace Reports on June 1, 2026.
Interactive reports, available to all Ad Manager publishers, offers an enhanced reporting experience, including such features as AI report generation, options for deeper analysis, flags for notifications, building and viewing reports on a single page, and more.
Interactive reports now includes all legacy report types, dimensions, and metrics being migrated. Note that dimensions and metrics marked "Deprecated" in the Reports tool won't be migrated to Interactive reports.
