Every now and then, we update the AdSense Terms and Conditions to make sure they're in line with policies across Google, and to prepare for future changes to the products and services we offer. As part of these regular updates, you'll soon sign in to your account and see that the Terms have been updated, prompting you to read through and accept them.
This time around, most of the changes to the Terms and Conditions fall into two broad categories: 1) future products and features and 2) privacy requirements. Specifically, one of the main changes is that the terms anticipate future products that may become available in other advertising formats and mediums, for example Gadget Ads. As we look forward to monetizing more online and offline content, we've re-worded some portions of the terms to make them applicable across a broader array of media and formats -- anticipating, for example, that future products may be priced, paid, or managed differently than current ones.
We've also added some specific requirements that make it necessary for publishers to post and abide by a transparent privacy policy that users see. According to this policy, publishers must notify their users of the use of cookies and/or web beacons to collect data in the ad serving process. This change relates to advertisers' use of innovative products and features like Gadget Ads and other offerings in the future.
The changes aren't limited to the areas above, however; we've made small changes throughout, so it's a good idea for you to review them thoroughly before accepting.

沈殿霞病逝 Hong Kong Entertainer Lydia Shum Dies
Lydia Shum Din-Ha 沈殿霞
July 21, 1947 - February 19, 2008
also known as Lydia Sum, Fei-fei (肥肥, literally Fat Fat or Fatty)
HONG KONG (Reuters Life!) - Popular Hong Kong actress and comedienne Lydia Shum died on Tuesday at the age of 60, after a protracted battle with liver cancer.
Shum, possibly Hong Kong's equivalent of U.S. comedienne Roseanne Barr, was one of Hong Kong's best-known entertainers and fondly called "Fei Fei" or "Fatty Shum" for her corpulent physique and exuberant personality.
Her influence extended to greater China and Chinese communities the world over.
Leading lights in Hong Kong's entertainment and political circles paid tribute to Shum's life and career, intertwined with the collective memories of many Hong Kong families.
"The sound of her laughter has been a part of growing up in Hong Kong and brought us a lot of joy," Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang told reporters.
"She represented a kind of spirit that was respected by many Hong Kong people and her passing makes me feel very sad," Tsang added, noting her gritty fight against cancer and the care she showed for her home city.
Local media reported that Shum died in Hong Kong's Queen Mary Hospital. Her family could not immediately be reached for comment.
The entertainer, known for her high-pitched voice and laughter, initially built her career in Hong Kong, although her popularity later spread to Singapore, where she anchored the sitcom "Living with Lydia", speaking in accented but fluent English.
Born in Shanghai in 1947, Shum's multi-faceted 40-year showbiz career began as a child actress with the Shaw Brothers Studio. She later became a legendary compere for the TVB variety show, "Enjoy Yourself Tonight", which turned her into a household name.
Formerly married to actor Adam Cheng, Shum is survived by her daughter Joyce, who also has show business ambitions.
