The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is an EU law that took effect on March 6th, 2024. As a result of the DMA, in the EU, Google offers you the choice to link certain Google services.
These Google services include:
- Search
- YouTube
- Ad services
- Google Play
- Chrome

When linked, these services can share your data with each other and with all other Google services for certain purposes.
