Google Consent Mode V2 debug view The log printed by LogCat does not have ad_personalization related fields

Google Consent Mode V2 debug view in the log printed by LogCat only Setting consent, ... ad_storage=denied/granted Setting consent, ... analytics_storage=denied/granted Some devices do not have fields related to ad_user_data and ad_personalization. Some devices just don’t have ad_personalization related fields.

Official documentation: https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/guides/app-consent?platform=android

        <meta-data
            android:name="google_analytics_default_allow_analytics_storage"
            android:value="false" />

        <meta-data

    public void setConsent() {
        // Set consent types.
        Map<FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentType, FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentStatus> consentMap = new EnumMap<>(FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentType.class);
        consentMap.put(FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentType.ANALYTICS_STORAGE, FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentStatus.GRANTED);
        consentMap.put(FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentType.AD_STORAGE, FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentStatus.GRANTED);
        consentMap.put(FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentType.AD_USER_DATA, FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentStatus.GRANTED);
        consentMap.put(FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentType.AD_PERSONALIZATION, FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentStatus.GRANTED);

        mFirebaseAnalytics.setConsent(consentMap);
    }

Answer 1

I just had a conversation with a Google engineer and he told me we need to check the next property on logs:

Setting user property: non_personalized_ads(_npa), 1, app

where 0 means "GRANTED" and 1 "DENIED"

It's very confusing and the documentation doesn't explain it but if you test your implementation you will see how the value changes.
