2. How ads are shown
- Ads are placed by hand in responsive units and labelled "Advertisement". We do not use Auto Ads or the in-article format.
- On tools, answers and travel, Google may also show a bottom anchor ad on longer pages. You can dismiss it.
- The first screen of a page carries no ad. Ads do not appear on About, Contact, Privacy or Terms pages or on this legal site.
- Advertisers do not write, approve or influence our content, and an ad is not an endorsement. We do not choose individual advertisers; Google and its partners do.
- Ads are for products and services of third parties. Anything you do with an advertiser is between you and them.
3. Affiliate links and sponsored content
We do not use affiliate links today. If a link ever pays us, we will say so next to the link. TNAADO does not accept payment for editorial coverage; sponsored material, where it exists, is labelled. The Dispatch's sponsor and house creative is paid placement and is labelled as such. See Editorial standards.
4. Personalised ads and cookies
Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve, limit and measure ads and to detect fraud, and may base ads on your visits to this and other sites. Third parties may place and read cookies, or use web beacons or IP addresses, to collect information because of ad serving on our sites. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. The cookies are listed in Cookies.
5. Your choices
- Google Ads Settings: turn off personalised ads.
- Digital Advertising Alliance (US) and Your Ad Choices (Canada).
- Network Advertising Initiative.
- Your Online Choices for visitors in Europe.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser. The sites still work, and you may still see non-personalised ads.
- Each site's analytics choice is on its Privacy page and does not change Google's ad cookies. See Cookies.
6. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
On tools, answers, travel and Dispatch we do not show ads to visitors in the EEA, UK or Switzerland or their overseas territories, to visitors whose region we cannot determine, or to visitors whose browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. Our analytics choice does not control Google's ad cookies where ads do show.
7. Sources and basis
- Google Publisher Policies, privacy disclosures (support.google.com/publisherpolicies/answer/10502938), read 8 November 2026: a clear privacy policy, and disclosure that third parties may read cookies or use web beacons or IP addresses for ad serving.
- Google, certified CMP requirement for the EEA, UK (from 16 January 2024) and Switzerland (from 31 July 2024) for personalised ads (support.google.com/adsense/answer/13554116), read 8 November 2026. The EU user consent policy page (support.google.com/adsense/answer/7670013) says publishers may use Google's CMP, a third-party CMP or their own dialog; the certified-CMP page is the stricter rule and is the one we follow.
- Journey by Mediavine (help.mediavine.com, read 8 November 2026): enables its own CMP, requires an accurate privacy-policy link on the homepage and a "Manage Preferences" footer link, and its CMP does not work with Google Consent Mode, so a site using GA4 consent mode needs a second CMP. Mediavine's CMP covers advertising only.
- US FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and the Competition Bureau of Canada: disclose paid connections next to the link.
- Whether any cookie use is a "sale" or "share" under US state law is addressed in Privacy rights.
