title: Disable Advertising ID collection
body: <p>Firebase has a page "<a href="https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/disable-analytics" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Disable Analytics Collection</a>", which has a section "Disable Advertising ID collection":</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If you wish to disable collection of the Advertising ID in your
    Android app, you can set the value of
    google_analytics_adid_collection_enabled to false in your app's
    AndroidManifest.xml in the application tag.</p>

  <ul>
  <li>What exactly is meant by "collection"? Is it still possible to get the ad id and send ads if this is disabled?</li>
  <li>Why is this instruction in the analytics section of firebase?</li>
  </ul>
