The upcoming Google policy changes, compel us to implement a dialog to notify EU users about cookie/device identifier usage for advertising and analytics. I'd like to show this dialog only to EU users. I don't want to use additional permissions (e.g. android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION). Therefore I have created a function to test for EU users:

Is my function enough to detect EU-Users?
