title: What are the permissions AdMob requires in android
body: <p>On <a href="https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/" rel="noreferrer">Google’s site</a> they only mention two of them:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/&gt;
  &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nothing about location? Is it ok?</p>
  
  <p>I noticed  on forums that people also use other permissions, like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta-data android:value="true" android:name="ADMOB_ALLOW_LOCATION_FOR_ADS" /&gt;
  &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /&gt;     
  &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" /&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it ok to use only those two first, or shall I extend my list to location (anything else?) in order to serve better profiled ads?</p>
