        implementation 'com.ironsource.adapters:molocoadapter:4.3.8'
        implementation 'com.moloco.sdk:moloco-sdk:3.2.0'

        Step 6. Moloco Additional Settings

        User-level COPPA

        Unity LevelPlay let’s publishers communicate Moloco User-level COPPA settings directly to the Moloco network. This feature is enabled using ironSource SDK 8.0.0+, Moloco Android Adapter 4.3.0+.

        IronSource.setMetaData("Moloco_COPPA","true");

        IronSource.setMetaData("Moloco_COPPA","false");

        Done!
