Publisher content comes first
We do not request display ads on login, confirmation, unsubscribe, error, search, form-only, navigation-only or unfinished pages. A missing ad configuration renders nothing—never a fake or empty advertising box.
MONETIZATION POLICY
Advertising never defines the answer.
CoolCompare limits display advertising to reviewed publisher-content surfaces and keeps commercial incentives outside calculations, evidence and editorial conclusions.
Substantive pages only
Display-ad eligibility is limited to reviewed editorial guides and verified product-detail pages that pass explicit publication gates. Programmatic location, category, brand, comparison and calculator surfaces remain ad-free until their independent depth and evidence are reviewed.
Clear separation
Advertising is labeled as Advertisement and is not styled as a recommendation, result, navigation control or comparison choice. Ads are kept away from high-interaction controls to reduce accidental clicks.
Editorial independence
Advertisers, affiliate partners and contractors cannot buy a specification, ranking, score or editorial conclusion. Commercial relationships do not change source-backed facts, correction handling or publication gates.
Consent and privacy
Google advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalization begin denied. Visitors can keep optional advertising cookies off and reopen Privacy choices from every page.
Ongoing review
We review indexed and monetized inventories separately. Short briefs can remain available to users while being excluded from search indexing, RSS, sitemap discovery and display advertising until they meet the current depth and source standard.
