Monetisation and trust
Advertising policy
Last updated 18 July 2026. This policy describes how advertising may be introduced without weakening academic usefulness, editorial independence or user control.
Current review state
The repository keeps production advertising disabled until the site is approved, a certified consent message is configured where required, and the owner completes a live route audit. Site ownership is declared through the AdSense publisher metadata and the authorised seller record in ads.txt.
Editorial independence
Advertising revenue does not determine article conclusions, academic recommendations, publication status, corrections or reviewer decisions. Advertisers do not receive advance approval of BMLabs editorial content.
Substantial pages only
Google advertising is eligible only on substantial public magazine articles and selected question-archive hierarchy pages. Search, legal, trust, correction, noindex, specialist-gated, focus-mode, print and individual thin document pages are excluded.
Clear separation
Advertisements must be visually distinguishable from navigation, academic explanations, download actions and interactive learning controls. BMLabs does not ask users to click ads or present ads as required academic content.
Consent and choice
Advertising storage, personalisation and user-data signals default to denied. Where required, BMLabs will use a Google-certified consent management platform before eligible advertising requests are made.
Restricted contexts
Ads are suppressed on unfinished, blocked, low-value or contextually unsuitable pages and while an article is in focus or print mode. Publication eligibility is derived from the same reviewed schema used by search and sitemaps.
Reporting concerns
Users may report a misleading placement, unsuitable advertisement or privacy concern through the contact page or by emailing bmlabskb@gmail.com. BMLabs can adjust its implementation but does not control every creative selected by an advertising platform.
