isLimitAdTrackingEnabled not respected

Hi,

I've just found that Unity Ads seems to not respect the privacy setting on Android devices which has
isLimitAdTrackingEnabled disabled. On my test device I have turned off this option (Settings / Accounts / Google / Ads / Opt out of interest-based ads), but in the logcat I can still see that requests from the Unity Ads plugin contains the advertising ID and it is passed to the adserver along with other private data:

05-22 23:52:06.096: I/UnityAds(12806): com.unity3d.ads.android.webapp.UnityAdsWebData.initCampaigns() (line:233) :: Requesting Unity Ads ad plan from https://impact.applifier.com/mobile...7ee8&trackingEnabled=0&advertisingTrackingId=2332ed3saa33234683453c4ed321242a&rawAdvertisingTrackingId=915df355-40b0-bd06-4008-8dd9900f2479...

Here's the Google policy for that data:
https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html#ADID

However, it seems that you check if the tracking is enabled (trackingEnabled parameter), but why then passing on the advertisingID?

Additionaly, why there's also the deviceId parameter? Google's Policy of advertising ID usage states clearly and requires that "The advertising identifier must not be connected to personally-identifiable information or associated with any persistent device identifier without the explicit consent of the user.".

While we devs are responsible for our apps and the content we provide and the data apps collect, please let me (or maybe others too) know your official position on the subject.

Hi, I am working on compliance with Google Play's Usage of Android Advertising IDs - Respecting users' selections if users Opt out of Ads Personalization. Is this addressed with Unity Ads these days?
