    regulationInfo.withGDPRConsentString("")  
    regulationInfo.withUSPrivacyString("")

[BidMachineSdk.shared.regulationInfo populate:^(id<BidMachineRegulationInfoBuilderProtocol> regulationInfo) {
    [regulationInfo withCOPPA:YES];
    [regulationInfo withGDPRZone:YES];
    [regulationInfo withGDPRConsent: YES];
    [regulationInfo withGDPRConsentString:@""];

Testing instructions

Before deploying the Bidmachine SDK and adapter to your live application, you can perform testing with the test mode. This will guarantee a high fill rate (99.99%) during the integration testing process, ensuring that the implementation is functioning correctly. It is crucial to disable the test mode before going live, as failing to do so will result in financial loss.
